Hundreds of acres of rainforest are to be restored on the Isle of Man, in the largest project so far in a £38 million scheme to revive the rare habitat.

Manx Wildlife Trust will restore 750 acres of temperate rainforest at Glen Auldyn, a 1,100 acre-landscape that also includes peat, protected heathland, wetlands and species-rich grasslands which will not be planted on, along with areas used by red-listed birds including curlew.
