We have planted seed islands - small enclosures containing various missing or under-represented native tree and shrub species. The islands are protected from herbivores and can help enhance seed dispersal through the site, aiding natural regeneration.

West Field was the focal point for woodland creation, taking a low density approach that prioritised under-represented species of shrubs and trees. We then created wildlife corridors by planting native trees and hedges which connect this woodland to other ancient fragments that surround the site. This planting provides a variety of connected habitats for different species.

Our site is located on the floodplain of the River Tay. It would have hosted vast species-rich grasslands before it was intensively farmed and developed. We have carefully restored pockets of this precious habitat using native seed mixes of Scottish provenance. Providing habitat and nectar source for pollinators is critically important in the context of significant pollinator declines across the country.
