In many parts of Scotland, aspen are confined to the most inaccessible spots - crags, sea-cliffs, gorges and steep gullies (known in the Borders as 'cleughs')
“By the year 2020, you will never be more than one mile from an Aspen stand along any of Scotland’s lochs, rivers and major tributaries.” This project aims to restore Aspen to its rightful place as a significant and valued component of Scotland’s native woods, using our river corridors to connect the Highlands to the lowlands with stands of this iconic species.
