We have partnered with leading organisations, including Chivas Brothers and Diageo, to deliver impactful conservation projects in the Spey Catchment. Our projects often involve activities such as tree planting, re-meandering rivers, and creating new in-river habitats.
These initiatives not only enhance the environment, providing benefits for wildlife and local communities, but also enable businesses to be part of meaningful change. By joining us, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and make a tangible difference.
