Current opportunity

The North Harris Trust is currently implementing its Habitat Regeneration Programme, planting thousands of native Hebridean trees in Gleann Lacasdail, Trolamul, and Beinn Tharsainn. All are welcome to volunteer time and energy in helping us support our woodland and biodiversity by coming along to plant birch, alders, rowans, and much more alongside our staff. You can come to help for as long as you wish. This can be a good opportunity to volunteer some time to help the local community, as well as learn about our Duthchas (natural heritage), speak Gaelic - or practice for learners_ do some outdoor work.
