Walk and talk with Willie McGhee, Saturday 16th August 2025
In 2001 a deer farm and land at Glengoulandie, eight miles from Aberfeldy, came on the market. A group of locals worked tirelessly to raise money to buy the site for the benefit of the community and nature – and the seeds of Dùn Coillich Community Land were sown.
It was the first ever community-led land buy-out in Perthshire, made possible by huge generosity from charitable benefactors, the local community and corporate funders.
Since then, a combination of tree planting, natural regeneration and careful management has resulted in a mosaic of habitats, including emerging native woodland.
But how does what we see today compare to the original vision of our founders? What could future habitats could look like, and what role will humans play in managing change in this landscape and others?
Join Willie McGhee, Dùn Coillich Forest Manager and native woodland expert, at 10.00am on Saturday 16thAugust for what will be a fascinating event!
