A CONSERVATION charity in Scotland has launched an £8 million public appeal to buy an estate which could become a red squirrel “superhighway.”
Woodland Trust Scotland hopes to raise the funds to purchase the 4,500-acre Couldoran Estate in Wester Ross, which neighbours its existing site at Ben Shieldaig.
The two estates would be managed jointly and the charity wants to create a “mosaic of habitats” for creatures including pine martens, badgers, red squirrels, mountain hares, golden eagles and peregrines, while it is hoped wildcats may one day return.
