Drones to scatter seeds over wildfire damaged land in Lochaber

Drones are to be used to disperse seeds collected by volunteers

Drones are to be used to scatter the seeds of native tree species over land damaged by wildfires.

Lochaber nature restoration partnership, Loch Abar Mòr, will use volunteers to collect seeds before they are dispersed over burnt ground on Glenuig Estate.

The wildfires broke out on the estate last year.

Funding has been secured from the Highlands and Islands Environment Foundation for the Seeds from the Sky project.
