Case Study

Muckrach Estate

Restoration and Rewilding

Savills enabled collaboration between the Cairngorms National Park Authority, Peatland ACTION and the Estate to identify three phases of peatland restoration. Phase 1, totalling 200 acres, will be restored through increased water level and revegetating of bare, eroded areas. Highland Council and NatureScot consents have been obtained. The year 1 capital costs (£80,000) will be met by grant with 4,300 tonnes of carbon sales over the following 65 years.
