Regenerating Ronay
As custodians of this unique piece of Scotland, we want to make sure nature thrive here both now and long into the future.
A wild and spectacular place
It is well documented that Scotland is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Native woodland covers just 4% of our entire country, and in the past decade alone almost half of all Scottish wildlife species have declined in abundance. According to the Biodiversity Intactness Index, Scotland is ranked 212th out of 240 countries globally.
On Ronay Island, we’re working directly with our community and environmental experts from across the UK to increase crucial wildlife and plant species for us all to enjoy, both now and long into the future.
We know that this is not a matter of “winding back the clock” but creating a resilient, species-rich island that benefits all, with natural processes leading the way.
Our multi-generational approach to caring for this unique landscape will see us create a thriving fabric of biodiversity that will be around for far longer than our own lifetimes. Read our blog entries to see how we’re making this happen.
Our commitment
Ronay Island is a wild and remote island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, where the wind whistles over pristine waters and rocky outcrops protrude through the dense heather and peat.
Currently home to resident white tailed sea eagles, golden eagles, cheeky families of otters, and seals and porpoises swimming in the bay, we know that Ronay Island has the potential to be a safe place for even more natural species.
