500+ Mile Trek · 1 June 2024

At the Scottish Wildlife Trust, we deliver compelling advocacy, practical conservation and inspiring engagement activities, as well as managing over 100 wildlife reserves. We champion Scotland's wildlife in pursuit of our vision of healthy, resilient ecosystems across the country's land and seas.

Story

I've decided to trek from the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse to the Todhead lighthouse. This 500+ mile trek across the picturesque Scottish coast and countryside will take two and a half months to complete.

Scottish Peatland Protection & Restoration

Scotland’s peatlands are not only home to some of the country’s most rare and threatened species, they also provide a lifeline in fighting our twin biodiversity and climate crises. Peat soils cover more than 20% of Scotland and store around 1600 million tonnes of carbon. However, it is estimated that over 80% of Scotland’s peatlands are degraded. Can you help the Scottish Wildlife Trust to protect and restore these unique habitats?

- £25 could help dam two drains to rewet blanket bog

- £50 could provide five metres of fencing to enable low density conservation grazing

- £75 could provide valuable PPE for our team of volunteers

- £175 could go towards installing boardwalks to protect fragile bogs

Any donations would be greatly appreciated - thank you!
