| Description: | We are planting a large hazel tree at the edge of Carrifran Wildwood. It's important to get the tree vertical, with its roots well spread out. |

| Description: | High on Ben Lawers, the main problem is getting the trees to where they are to be planted. The white bags in the picture are on special harnesses that make trudging across the hillside with 150 small trees on board more comfortable. |

| Description: | We run our own tree nursery, where we grow local native trees from seed. We supply the young trees to local wildlife organisations. We have recently moved our nursery to a new site: this is a picture of the new site shortly after we moved in. |

| Description: | Young trees need regular care in their first few years until they are properly established. We carry out regular weeding tasks in areas that we have planted. Here one of us is inspecting a tree that we planted the previous year. |

| Description: | We are often called on to remove invasive non-native species from woodland. Here, one of us is cutting up a sycamore that he has just felled. Sycamore is a relatively recent introduction to Scotland, and it competes aggressively with native trees. |
