Rewilding Learning Day: All About Trees

When is this event?

  1. 21st October 2025

Join Lynn Cassells, co-owner of Lynbreck Croft, for an immersive learning day focused on planting, growing and working with trees, surrounded by the inspiring landscapes of the Cairngorms National Park.

As climate changes accelerates and weather extremes become more frequent, the need to create diverse, resilient landscapes grows ever more important. Trees play a critical role in the landscape, providing essential shade, shelter and forage, as well as slowing the flow of water off the hills, maintaining soil health and enabling food production.

This immersive learning day provides a unique opportunity to find out everything you want to know about tree planting, tree protection and woodland management at the multi-award-winning Lynbreck Croft, owned by Lynn Cassells and Sandra Baer. With 28 years of combined practical experience, Lynn and Sandra are creating a landscape at Lynbreck where trees and food production go hand in hand.

With practical hands-on learning opportunities and Lynn’s expert guidance, this course will help you to observe and understand the varied ways that trees are nurtured, managed and utilised on a working croft, emphasising their central place within a landscape that benefits nature, climate and people.


Where is this event being held?

This Learning Day will be run from the award-winning Lynbreck Croft, which has become celebrated for the high-profile wilder farming practiced by owners Lynn Cassells and Sandra Baer – described in their book ‘Our Wild Farming Life”. Since the land was acquired in 2016, a successful regenerative food business has been established and the site operates as a base for wilder farming courses. The land benefits from the presence of native pigs and cattle, and 30,000 native trees have been planted. Lynbreck Croft is testimony to the ability to produce food regeneratively in an upland setting in a way that benefits nature and drives ecosystem recovery.
