To mark DM Hall’s 125th anniversary, the firm has planted 125 trees in Cashel Forest, a 3,000-acre estate which is being transformed with native Scottish species, into the “Forest for a Thousand Years”, as it is now being called.
Cashel, in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, is managed by DM Halls’ specialist rural property arm Baird Lumsden and is owned by the Royal Scottish Forestry Society (RSFS), which is turning it into an attractive community asset and tourist destination.
The tree planting is important not only in terms of native species regeneration, but also as a contribution to carbon sequestration, whereby plantings help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In addition to its commemorative initiative, the firm’s 24 Scotland-wide offices will also embark over the anniversary year on a focused drive towards significantly improved sustainability and, ultimately, to net zero.
