The UK Infrastructure Bank has announced that it intends to commit £12m to support a nature restoration project in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
The bank will provide a short-term bridging loan facility to support Highlands Rewilding’s acquisition of the Tayvallich Estate - a 1,300-hectare estate in Argyll.
Representing the bank’s first deal exclusively in Scotland, the project aims to provide new data and understanding on the restoration of Scotland’s ecosystems. These new insights are expected to inform more effective land management for biodiversity, which in turn should support the growth of natural capital markets.
