Arkaig Community Forest

Working for Arkaig Community Forest

Set in the stunningly beautiful west Scottish Highlands, we are a community organisation helping to restore and revitalise an important Scottish rainforest, containing a key portion of the country's remaining Caledonian pinewood.

We work in a unique partnership with Woodland Trust Scotland.

The Arkaig Community Forest was formed in 2014 by members of the community of Achnacarry, Bunarkaig and Clunes in Lochaber. We partnered with the Woodland Trust to fundraise and buy land that was offered for sale by Forestry Land Scotland. The two organistions now own and manage that land in partnership. Our aim is to restore native woodland habitats through removal of non-native and invasive species, deer management, and reforestation, and in doing so to re-connect local people with the management and stewardship of the site and to use the woodlands to underpin sustainable rural development in the community.
