Carrifran Wildwood is owned by Borders Forest Trust (BFT), a formally registered charity with elected Trustees. On 1st January 2000 BFT bought Carrifran and restoration began at once, with 100 people planting trees on that first day.
Several of the BFT Trustees are actively involved in the Wildwood project and BFT staff have provided essential backup to the Wildwood Group volunteers, both during the original fundraising campaign and subsequently. Scottish Natural Heritage provided most of the funding (including one year full-time) for a Project Officer to manage operations on the site, as a member of BFT staff.
You can learn more about the relationship between the BFT and Carrifran Wildwood on the Organisation page.
