About Hebridean Wildlife and Landscape Trust

Hebridean Wildlife and Landscape Trust
 

The Hebridean Wildlife and Landscape Trust manages an array of unique habitats across Scotland's Hebridean islands. This region is notable for its stunning landscapes, including dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and moorland. The trust's conservation areas provide a home for rare bird species such as the golden eagle, as well as marine life including seals and otters. Historically, these islands have been shaped by centuries of human habitation, and visitors can explore ancient archaeological sites scattered throughout the region. Recreational opportunities abound, with activities such as hiking, bird watching, and photography. The efforts of the trust help maintain the delicate balance of these ecosystems for future generations, while providing a rich experience for naturalists and outdoor adventurers.
