Invergeldie is one of the largest and most complex estates in the Oxygen Conservation portfolio. Each estate has its own bespoke set of environmental and social targets, developed specifically for its landscape.

By 2027, Invergeldie is targeted to become a leading example of environmental restoration in Scotland. Planned works include the planting of 1.5 million native trees and the large-scale restoration of 1,300 acres of peatland and wetland habitats, with the aim of enhancing biodiversity and building a more resilient natural environment.

Restoration plans for Invergeldie extend beyond tree planting and habitat work. In partnership with CreditNature and Ecosulis, options are being explored to remove redundant barriers that fragment the landscape, reintroduce lost herbivores to graze and shape the land, and create new niches for wildlife. This includes wetlands supporting wading birds, regenerating native woodland, and ground rich in invertebrate life.

The Invergeldie Environmental Account will measure the change in environmental condition associated with these restoration efforts. The Accredited Method underpinning this Environmental Account is CreditNature’s NARIA Framework, which measures ecosystem condition through four distinct metrics: Trophic Function, Bird Trait Diversity, Landscape Connectivity, and Vegetation Spatial Diversity.
