Highland Perthshire aspen trees, propogated at Edinburgh Zoo by RZSS, are being distributed this spring to eight different sites in Perthshire and the Angus Glens. Each site is receiving 6- 8 clones free of charge, the objective being to promote the species, the project partners supporting work to help the species, and to increase the genetic diversity present at a number of key locations.
Richard Barclay (above right) plants aspen in an SRDP-funded woodland creation scheme at Innerhadden, Loch Rannoch last month. Below you will see deliveries to two other sites today, plus a planting afternoon at Bamff Estate on Sunday.
All the trees are being donated to people who we know will look after them.
