TWO conservation charities have joined forces to share the secrets of one of the UK’s richest and most mysterious habitats – the Celtic rainforest.
The National Trust for Scotland, the charity that conserves and promotes Scotland’s heritage, and Plantlife Scotland, an organisation that is speaking up for our wild flowers, plants and fungi, are holding an event at Balmacara in Wester Ross which will explore the flora that thrives in the damp, ancient forests of Scotland.
National Trust for Scotland ranger at Balmacara estate, Gavin Skipper said: ‘You do not have to travel to Brazil to experience a rainforest. There are amazing examples of the Celtic rainforest on Scotland’s West Coast. They are teeming with life and just as fascinating.
