Conservation Days
These new "tours" are all about what you can do to make our world last a bit longer. Typically, we will visit some amazing places on Skye to learn about the islands wildlife and understand what is missing. We will also look at some of the key conservation projects that are running on Skye and meet some of the people that are delivering them. We will then work with a local land owner/group on a conservation project. These will vary but will include tree planting and re-wilding.
This is a wonderful opportunity to show that you care and to make your trip to Skye more memorable and do something that really will make a difference.
Departure Times vary from Somerled Square, Portree.
