conservation charity dedicated to the restoration and regeneration
of the Caledonian Forest in the Highlands of Scotland. For every
major conference staged at the Centre, SEC will sponsor the
planting of an acre of native trees, for smaller events, a grove of
eight trees will be sponsored. The objective is to link up several
fragments of the Caledonian Forest and re-establish a forest
corridor from Glen Moriston to Glen Affric in the north, creating a
continuous stretch of native woodland.
