Trees for Life’s Dundreggan Rewilding Centre in Glenmoriston near Loch Ness has been awarded the Nature Tourism Award at RSPB Scotland’s Nature of Scotland Awards 2024, in recognition of its pioneering achievements in rewilding landscapes and people.
The centre – the first of its kind in the world – received the prestigious accolade “for bringing people and nature together” at a ceremony held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on 28 November.
The Nature of Scotland Awards recognise individuals and organisations across local communities, schools, and businesses who are making a difference for Scotland’s wildlife and natural environment.
“This award is a great honour. It’s a testament to our fantastic team who deliver a unique, high-quality experience for visitors from around the world, and to the hope and inspiration rewilding offers,” said Dundreggan Rewilding Centre Director, Laurelin Cummins-Fraser.
“Dundreggan has long been a beacon for rewilding Scotland’s landscapes – and since the Rewilding Centre opened last year, it has become a beacon for rewilding people too. We offer our visitors the opportunity to connect with nature, explore stunning Highlands landscapes, and see rewilding in action.”
The centre showcases how rewilding can give people inspiring experiences and benefit communities, while tackling the nature and climate emergencies. It offers a gateway for visitors to explore the 10,000-acre Dundreggan estate where Trees for Life is restoring the Caledonian forest and its wildlife.
