TREES FOR LIFE
The Murray Clan Society
Added on 29 August 2025
As part of our commitment to the environment, we are very pleased to announce our new Murray Clan Society Grove with the charity, Trees for Life, to support the amazing work they do. The vision is of a revitalised wild forest in the Scottish Highlands, providing space for wildlife to flourish and communities to thrive. They have been rewilding in the Scottish Highlands for over 25 years. The Head Trustee/Convenor personally funded the first tree, to represent the first year since we have been constituted as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). We chose Trees for Life because of its reputation as one of the leading experts in wild forest restoration in Scotland. Its tree nursery ensures enough native rare and hard to grow trees are available to be planted in the Highlands. Trees for Life works to ensure the Caledonian Forest grows from the last few patches of the original wild forest that remain so it can grow again in large areas of Scotland. The new wild forest will benefit everyone: helping to reduce the impacts of climate change by storing carbon; preventing flooding and erosion by holding back water after rain; and providing opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people to experience and be inspired by wild nature. The Murray Clan Society in the UK will fund additional trees to our grove. We are also hoping some of our clansfolk might wish to add their own tree to our grove which can be found here: https://treesforlife.org.uk/groves/465412/
