EP 20: "Rewilding" with Alan McDonnell from Trees for Life

Did you know that Glen Coe used to be covered in trees? It's true. Scotland looked a lot different a few centuries ago. When this change happened - due to human influence, of course - it not only resulted in the loss of trees, but entire ecosystems. Thankfully, some people are trying to bring them back.

We asked Alan McDonnell, the Head of Nature Restoration at Trees for Life, to tell us all about rewilding. In this episode we cover:

• What Scotland's historical landscape actually looked like
• What rewilding is
• How organizations like Trees for Life go about rewilding
