Macrae & Dick Toyota are delighted to support Highland Birchwoods with their Mountain Woodland Restoration Project
Inverness, UK (PRWEB UK) 4 November 2013 -- Macrae & Dick Toyota, through the Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow, are delighted to support the work of Highland Birchwoods with their Mountain Woodlands Restoration Project. The funding will assist with the planting of 500,000 native trees throughout the area.
The Mountain Woodland Project is aimed at the conservation of an extremely rare habitat in Scotland. Mountain woodlands occur between the timberline (the altitude above which trees can no longer be grown commercially) and the scrubline (the altitude where shrubs can no longer survive) and are an important part of our natural heritage. These areas have been in decline for a number of decades and include well-known species such as Scots pine, rowan and juniper.
Billy Bodles, Project Manager, Highland Birchwoods said, "With this support from Macrae & Dick and the Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow, we can plant these important species and ensure the continuing existence of threatened flora and fauna in our mountainous regions."
Sandy Mackenzie, Centre Principle, Macrae & Dick Toyota said, "We are delighted to support Highland Birchwoods with this project and be involved in the conservation of a very important area of our landscape."
Macrae & Dick Toyota will also be assisting the project with the loan of a Toyota Hilux for some of their planting weekends.
The Mountain Woodland Project will also be involving community groups in planting and nursery initiatives and will be developing adult training courses and youth focused educational courses.
