Signs of recovery seen at Corrimony Nature Reserve a year after being damaged by a wildfire.

The Corrimony Nature Reserve faced a troubling incident last year when a devastating wildfire tore through the area. The aftermath was grim, with the destruction of crucial moorland and woodland habitats, home to a variety of animals including the Black Grouse and Scottish Crossbill. The fire was relentless, burning for two weeks and causing immense damage to the reserve.

The wildfire was fueled by an exceptional dry spell and hot weather, allowing it to spread rapidly and causing widespread destruction. Despite the valiant efforts of the Corrimony staff, neighboring landowners, and multiple fire crews, the fire continued to rage on for days. Even helicopter teams were brought in to help contain the blaze, but the damage had already been done.

However, a year has passed since the unfortunate incident and there are now signs of recovery at the Corrimony Nature Reserve. RSPB Scotland, the organization responsible for managing the reserve, reported that some areas were showing natural signs of revival. They have also been working tirelessly to replant trees, thanks to the generous donations of £200,000.

Site manager Simon Mclaughlin expressed his devastation over the impacts of the wildfire, which undid years of crucial woodland restoration efforts. He also shared how the support from members, supporters, and partners has been crucial in helping the reserve recover. It has been heartening to witness the positive impact they have been able to make so far, from planting new trees to rebuilding important deer fencing.

The support and generosity from people all over Scotland and beyond have been instrumental in restoring the Corrimony Nature Reserve. It is a true testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit to see such a beautiful place gradually heal and thrive once again.
