Recording of Ecological Restoration Talk

On 16 December 2021 we were delighted to host an in-person talk by Andrew Painting in Lochinver Village Hall. Andrew is the National Trust for Scotland’s Assistant Ecologist at the Mar Lodge Estate NNR in the Cairngorms.

His talk ‘Regeneration: 25 years of Ecological Restoration at Mar Lodge’ was our second blended event with a live audience in the hall and a virtual Zoom one.

This post is to make the Zoom recording of Andrew’s talk available to anyone at anytime.

The book referred to by Andrew, ‘REGENERATION The Rescue of a Wild Land’, was written by him. It was published by Birlinn Publishing in March 2021. If you would be interested in purchasing his book here is a link to it at the National Trust for Scotland’s on-line shop.

Here is the link to Andrew’s talk which does not require you to leave our website. Enjoy
