A Natural Capital Deal
Caz Graham visits the Corrour Estate in the Scottish Highlands, which is being managed to restore habitats, increase biodiversity and sequester carbon.
The 57,000 acre Corrour Estate in the Scottish Highlands is being managed to restore habitats, increase biodiversity and sequester carbon. That means widescale restoration of degraded peat bogs, planting thousands of trees and culling of thousands of deer.
The work is being paid for, in part, by a Natural Capital Deal done with the University of St Andrews. It's 100 year partnership, with the estate agreeing to sequester carbon to offset the emissions from the international students attending the University.
In this programme, Caz Graham visits the estate to see the work that's being done, and explores the implications for wildlife, communities and the future of Scottish upland management.
