    WildLand Limited National Planning Framework 4 – Submission Wildland Limited Wildland Limited is an organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation of some of Scotland’s most precious landscapes as part of a 200 year vision of conservation. The company is the custodian of three Scottish estates; Wildland North Coast, Wildland Cairngorm, and Wildland West & Ness. Wildland has planted over five million trees in the Scottish Highlands and created the conditions to regenerate countless more – nurturing a landscape where wildlife can thrive and nature can heal itself. Wildland also operates a number of market-leading hospitality venues across the Highlands, with proceeds going back into conservation initiatives. For centuries, some of Europe’s most diverse and special landscapes have been decimated by deforestation, species loss and the erosion of natural habitats. Mountainsides that once played host to a rich and living forest now stand denuded and impoverished. The rivers, lochs and seas around them are also under threat. Much of the peatland that punctuates the landscape and stores Scotland’s carbon has been degraded and is now categorised as being in ‘unfavourable condition’ against IUCN and EU standards. In the face of a climate emergency, urgent action is needed to turn the tide. Wildland’s mission is to make an active and meaningful contribution to the restoration of some of Scotland’s living landscapes. Our investment in Scotland’s wild land won’t just help nature heal itself – sustainable and thriving local communities lie at the heart of our vision. By developing our natural capital, whether by planting five million trees in the Cairngorms, allowing the conditions for natural regeneration of native woodland, or by restoring marine habitats in Sutherland, everyone stands to gain.
