Join Aberdeen Climate Action for their 105th Climate Cafe on Scottish efforts to restore the once extensive forest cover. Free and hybrid.

Three people will offer their insights into efforts in Scotland to restore Scotlands forrest beauty.

Angela Mercer of Arkaig Community Forest (ACF), will explain how they are working in partnership with the Woodland Trust to restore the pine forest and other habitats in the Arkaig estate, mainly through natural regeneration.

David Hunter, MD of the Habitat People, will talk about the wider implications of the lack of afforestation in the region - in particular regarding the water table and the lack of stability/buffers. He has a call to action because we need a massive reforestation project in the region.

Mike Daniels of the University of the Highlands and Islands will talk about deer management and other issues. He has recently published a book "Locked Antlers". It is excellent and describes the battle between landowners and conservations, and the latter's eventual science based victory.

After these three 15 minute talks there will be about 40 minutes of Q&A from the in person and online audience.
