In 1996 Borders Forest Trust was formed to ‘Revive the Wild Heart of Southern Scotland’. On January 1st 2000 the first trees were planted at Carrifran Wildwood. Carrifan, is a 1,600 acre ice-carved valley in the Moffat Hills in Scotland. Over the last few decades, Borders Forest Trust has worked to establish a wooded landscape with a rich diversity of native species that would have existed here thousands of years ago.
