Gordon has been involved in the management and restoration of parts of Argyll’s temperate rainforest for over 30 years. He is currently helping to develop landscape scale restoration projects within Argyll, and is also a contributor to the ambitious plans for ecosystem restoration being developed by the Alliance for Scotland’s Rainforest. Gordon will talk about elements of the pre history and history of woodland in Argyll, before describing their significance today and the main threats that they face. Finally he will look ahead to the potential to restore and expand this internationally important habitat.
