Preserving Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve
This spring, as the snow recedes and the mountains come alive again, our rangers and conservationists will begin the next phase of restoration at Ben Lawers. Building on seventy-five years of pioneering work, they’ll focus on repairing eroded peatland to restore its ability to store carbon and support wildlife, maintaining and improving key footpaths used by more than 40,000 visitors each year, and expanding the mountain woodland through the purchase and planting of native trees in partnership with NatureScot.
These efforts will help combat the pressures of overgrazing, erosion, and climate change that continue to threaten this fragile alpine ecosystem.
In recognition of this significant milestone, NTSUSA is raising $75,000 to help the Trust protect Ben Lawers for the next 75 years – and beyond! The Jeniam Foundation has pledged to match all gifts to Ben Lawers dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $30,000, doubling the impact of your gift and ensuring Ben Lawers continues to thrive for generations to come.
The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All gifts to the annual appeal are 100% tax deductible. Federal Tax ID No. 04-3511088.
