Recovering from wildfire

Thank you for your generous donations to our emergency appeal following the devastation caused by a wildfire which spread onto our Corrimony nature reserve in the Highlands in late May. About half of Corrimony was destroyed at a crucial time for breeding birds including Black Grouse and Scottish Crossbill.

The rapid response of Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and our site teams was crucial in limiting the damage, along with efforts by neighbours, gamekeepers and other landowners.

We’re also touched by the cards made by children at Cannich Bridge Primary School, who hope to help replant trees at the site. Over £200,000 has been raised towards recovery, including an incredibly kind donation of £50,000 from our corporate partner Barratt Developments, and we continue to talk to several companies who are offering support.
