One of 1,862 projects Taiyo tracks in Scotland.
Source: Megaproject
The project involves creating new woodlands featuring predominately native broadleafs and some productive conifer trees, split between two sites: one on 16.5 hectares surrounding Barcraigs Reservoir and another over 26 hectares at Springside. The woodlands aim to stabilise soil to reduce organic matter washing into the reservoir during extreme rainfall, provide drought resilience by holding water

Description
Description | The project involves creating new woodlands featuring predominately native broadleafs and some productive conifer trees, split between two sites: one on 16.5 hectares surrounding Barcraigs Reservoir and another over 26 hectares at Springside. The woodlands aim to stabilise soil to reduce organic matter washing into the reservoir during extreme rainfall, provide drought resilience by holding water in the ground, improve biodiversity, and capture over 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over 60 years. |
