A major environmental project on the outskirts of Castle Douglas will play a key part of the National Trust for Scotland’s work over the next 10 years.
The charity has unveiled its new strategy, called Nature, Beauty and Heritage, with the aim of becoming carbon negative by 2031.
And part of that work includes the Threave Landscape Restoration Project, where 81 hectares at Kelton Mains are being transformed into rich habitats for flora and fauna while restoring the site’s wetlands and native woodlands.
