Episode Details

Scotland’s Loch Katrine water project is turning nature into its biggest ally—restoring 4,000 hectares of native woodland by 2040 to protect drinking water for a million people. Two years in, 600 hectares have regenerated naturally, plus 100 hectares planted and 25km of fencing to shield new growth from deer. By 2030, over a million trees will be established. This isn’t just planting—it’s letting forests spread organically, a slower but far more sustainable and cost-effective strategy. Peatland restoration and careful grazing management are key parts of the plan, all aimed at boosting biodiversity and making water supplies resilient against climate change. One of the UK’s largest woodland creation efforts, this long-term vision is building a stronger, greener future for generations.
