Sheep for Geese 🐑🪿 On Tayvallich Estate, our sheep are playing their role in nature recovery – helping thousands of wintering geese find the food they need to thrive. By grazing the grass to just the right height, they keep the land perfect for these migratory visitors from Islay and beyond. #birds

#Rewilding. #Repeopleing. A standing stone at Tayvallich has watched over this land for thousands of years. It reminds us that people and this place are inseparable. Rewilding is not just about restoring nature, it’s about jobs, homes, and communities.

Loch Ness hydropower project ‘gives renewable energy a bad name’ We have raised serious concerns about the impact of Loch Ness becoming artificially tidal. Watch our short video from Co-chief Scientist Dr Penelope Whitehorn, which goes into more detail. #lochness #renewableenergy #glenearrach

Highlands Rewilding have recently formally objected to the #Glenearrach hydro scheme. Along with 4 other consented schemes, this makes #lochness effectively tidal with regular fluctuations of over half a metre, & could cause significant biodiversity loss. www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/rewildi...

Yesterday we joined over 100 campaigners and members of @the Scottish rewilding alliance outside Holyrood to send a clear message to the @Scottish Government: stop stalling, start rewilding.  📷 Olivia Navarrete

Highlands Rewilding has lodged a formal objection to the proposed Glen Earrach pumped-storage hydro scheme at Loch Ness. The filing warns the project could render the loch effectively “quasi-tidal”, with regular water-level swings and associated risks to biodiversity and protected habitats.

Can sheep help our trees grow? 🐑🌱 Ranger Daniel Holm tried a simple idea: wrapping saplings with locally sourced sheep fleece to deter deer. Co-chief scientist Penelope Whitehorn has launched a follow-up experiment: spraying saplings with lanolin, the natural wax found in wool. #NatureBasedSolutions

Exciting update! Were you one of the many people disappointed not to be able to invest under £50K during this new round of fundraising? Well, we’ve listened to you, and this week we are delighted to share that we are collaborating with Green Angel Ventures, to enable investments from as low as £5K.

Beautiful animals, difficult choices. At Tayvallich Estate (as in Bunloit), many trees show signs of deer damage. Bark stripped, saplings grazed. Without predators, deer populations have grown far beyond balance. Listen to Estate Manager Ewan Paterson’s view on these animals. #woodland

High above Loch Ness - a wonderful place for Mindfulness in Nature. Join us at Bunloit for these events on Sunday 28th Sep and Friday 24th October. Booking is required. Contact [email protected] or on 07917 676786 #mindfulness #naturetherapy #rewilding #nature

Dung Lab We now test dung for parasites in-farm. With training from Pasture for Life and using simple lab equipment, Farm Manager Erik Riddell now medicates animals only when needed. Reducing chemical use on sheep and cattle, for healthier livestock, soils and invertebrates, at lower costs #regenag

The Marsh Fritillary Butterfly is threatened in the UK and across Europe. But we still find them on Tayvallich estate – as the group of attendees on our Marsh Fritillary Web Count confirmed last Saturday, when they found 40 webs, spun by larvae.

A recent Wildlife Walk with the Farm Advisory Service showed how GPS-collared cattle, native woodland, and careful grazing management are shaping a landscape where nature and farming thrive together. Speakers from SAC Consulting’s local offices and Erik Riddell, Farm Manager at Tayvallich. #regenag

Imagine the future of Tayvallich For centuries this land has been deforested. But just across the water lies Taynish National Nature Reserve – a living reminder of what once was, and what can return. Woodland coming back,
Wildlife thriving
Carbon stored,
Communities supported #Scotlandsrainforest

Pine martens eat squirrels – but not red ones. We want to share this fact, (and this film) again for #nationalpinemartenday. So why are #pinemartens not a threat to our native red squirrels? Find out more in this film narrated by ranger Louise McLaren. #redsquirrels #rewilding #nature

🦇 How to detect and survey bats Last week we hosted a brilliant bat training evening at Tayvallich led by Ross Preston and Jani from Rowan Ecology. Over 20 locals learned to use thermal cameras, audio sensors and specialist equipment to spot bats emerging at dusk. #BatSurvey

What a brilliant day at the Glenurquhart Highland Games last weekend. Fantastic to see so many stop by to learn more about #rewilding at Bunloit. The 'Whose Poo?' game was particularly popular with adults and children alike!

🌿 This week, #Nature30 has been launched by the Scottish Government and NatureScot! This recognises nature-friendly land management outside formal Protected Areas. We're proud to have helped shape this process as a pilot site at Barrahormid 👉 www.highlandsrewilding.co.uk/blog/piloting-nature30

Great to see our Founder and CEO, @jeremyleggett.bsky.social selected by Scottish Field Magazine as one of the most influential movers and shakers in the Scottish countryside. @scottishfield.bsky.social #rewilding

For #NationalMarineWeek, dive into a nighttime encounter in the seagrass meadows of Tayvallich. Eyes peeled for one of treasures spotted by Marine Rewilding Lead David Smyth and Rebekah Bajko (Queen’s University Belfast). We’re working to protect and restore these vital underwater habitats.

Bracken rolling – strangely mesmerising. But why do we do it? 🎥 Watch to the end for the full story (and get to see a happy roller!). #BrackenRolling #BiodiversityInAction #LandRecovery #nature #rewilding

Game-changing climate ruling. “The opinion is not formally enforceable, but history shows that once law and science align in this way, social licence can evaporate very quickly. Think tobacco. Think asbestos.” @jeremyleggett.bsky.social in @reuters.com www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

How we're helping ancient peatbogs breathe again.🌬️ Peatlands cover just 3% of Earth, but store twice as much carbon than all the world's forests combined. Here's why we are restoring an 8,000-year-old bog at Bunloit! #PeatlandRestoration #NatureBasedSolutions #Rewilding #WorldBogDay

Often In interviews I find I have said only a fraction of what I would like to communicate. This one, with ABC Radio, was different. And I love the comment with which the interviewer, veteran science reporter Robyn Williams, ends it" "hashtag#rewilding works." www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Immerse yourself in nature on Scotland's west coast, combining coastal foraging, guided sea swimming, a three-course forager’s lunch and Gaelic language Next available date: ✅ Saturday 26th July Or book an exclusive trip on a date that suits you www.heatheryheights.co.uk/product/gu-h...

Highlands Rewilding’s founder and CEO, Jeremy Leggett, presenting at Family Office Forum London last week - what a brilliant few days of meaningful conversations and connections at the intersection of purpose and profit.

🌾 It’s National Meadows Day! 🌾 Meadows are rich in biodiversity. Here is another chance to watch a short film showing how we survey what’s growing in our grasslands. Rewilding starts with understanding. And every flower and leaf tells a story. 🌼 #NationalMeadowsDay #MeadowMatters #Rewilding

Investing in natural capital and nature-based solutions at the Blue Earth Forum last week, the official innovation hub of London Climate Action Week. With over 4,700 investors, innovators, and climate leaders, we presented our approach and joined discussions. CEO Dr Jeremy Leggett.CFO Tony Crawte.

Great to present at the 2025 Landscape Ecology UK Conference. Our Chief Data Scientist, Cathy Atkinson, shared insights on "Monitoring biodiversity in Scottish rewilding sites" - presenting our research on biodiversity baselining across Scotland's diverse habitats and ecosystems. #LEC2025

I have a huge question as yet unanswered. Why has the insurance industry - so transparently and existentially threatened by climate meltdown - done so pitifully little about it, when so many easy risk abatement options have been open to them for so long: www.linkedin.com/pulse/climat...

How do you measure birdlife across hundreds of hectares? With sound and science. Ranger Rowan Maclean paddled out to place an AudioMoth on an island off Tayvallich as part of our effort to gather data on avian diversity. This sensor was one of 47. Watch out for the seals #BirdSurveys #rewilding

“£72 million over 15 years. 10%+ projected IRR. And genuine nature restoration along the way.” In [email protected] podcast Jeremy Leggett walks through how we’ve structured these nature-based investments to balance robust, pension-grade returns with measurable ecosystem recovery.

Science-backed resilience in action. As #LCAW2025 focuses on turning climate science into real-world impact, Highlands Rewilding is demonstrating how nature restoration can be measured, valued, and made investable using rigorous ecological baselining to monitor biodiversity, carbon, and soil health.

Scotland has rainforest too – and it needs protecting. To mark #Rainforestday, we’re shining a light on the temperate rainforest remnants we are lucky enough to have at Tayvallich estate. In this film Keir Smith, Director of Estate Operations, shares our plan to expand this rare habitat.

Who is Jeremy Leggett, winner of the 2025 Blue Planet Prize? 🌍 From a career in petroleum sciences, to Greenpeace, then solar innovation... and now rewilding.  As the founder and CEO of Highlands Rewilding, Jeremy is pioneering a bold new vision for nature restoration at scale. youtu.be/Mv1-EGZnNuI
