About Opportunity
Trees for life are working to restore 600 square miles of Caledonian Forest in the Highlands west of Inverness. For a week we live as a community, working together in the forest and sharing domestic tasks, such as cooking the evening meal. Each Conservation Holiday work-week consists of 10 volunteers working at forest restoration i.e. collecting seeds and berries, planting trees, felling non-native trees, removing redundant fencing, wetland restoration, tree nursery work, survey and monitoring and stock fencing.
