This project aims to work with landowners and communities in the Knapdale area to develop and deliver landscape-scale restoration, starting with the control of Rhododendron ponticum.  

The West Cowal Habitat Regeneration Project area includes the peninsulas of Kilfinan and Colintraive, which encapsulate the Kyles of Bute National Scenic Area and Isle of Bute.

On the wild and beautiful Morvern peninsula, fragments of Scotland’s rainforest still remain – living reminders of a richer, wilder past. Today, this rare habitat has been pushed to the edges, its native species crowded out by invasive rhododendron.
