"In recent years people have increasingly heard of rewilding, but may not have
seen the scale of the transformation it can have on a landscape.
But new before-and-after pictures of a glen in southern Scotland show the
astonishing changes which can take place in a relatively short amount of time
when nature is allowed to return.
The area in question is called Carrifran – a 1,600-acre ice-carved valley in
the Moffat Hills in the southern uplands of Scotland – one of the country’s
least populated regions.
In 1996, plans were put together by the Borders Forest Trust to restore
woodland in the glen, and on 1 January 2000, the first trees were planted, and
a boundary fence was erected to stop deer from grazing on the saplings.
Fast forward 22 years and the impact is enormous. What was once a denuded
landscape barren of almost all life is now a thriving ecosystem replanted with
native species of trees."
