Helen MacKay

Helen is a vet and the tenant farmer at Lagganulva Farm on the Isle of Mull. The SSSI hazel, oak and ash woodland surrounding her farm provides year round shelter for livestock which is especially valuable during calving. Like other farmers in the area, Helen is eager to protect her slice of rainforest and encourage natural regeneration.

“The woods here are really very valuable to any farmers lucky enough to have them…financial support for a regeneration type scheme would be massively helpful because we don’t tend to be a particularly well-off bunch. It’s a pretty marginal occupation.”
