Atlantic rainforest

Scotland's west coast is the home to Britain's very own rainforest. Not a tropical, but a temperate, rainforest, the hazel and oak woods in Argyll & Lochaber are home to a whole host of non flowering plants, such as the luxuriant lichens showing here. We're part of a partnership aiming to make sure these woods thrive. The partnership has just published a leaflet that you can download at http://www.scottishnativewoods.org.uk/
