An opportunity arose in 2005 for Trees for Life (an award winning Scottish charity) to have first refusal on the Dundreggan Estate in Glen Moriston just south of Glen Affric. Restore provided a contribution towards the purchase of this important estate. A five year practical action plan has now been devised for the estate and in early 2008 Restore has provided some funding for this important next step.
