Scottish 'citizen rewilders' have helped a crowdfunder reach its target in just one month of its three-month campaign
More than £500,000 has been raised for the unique project, which offers mass co-ownership of part of the Highlands.
Welcoming the news of the crowdfunder sum, founder and CEO Jeremy Leggett said he had been “blown away” by the support. In 2021, he added the 860-acre Beldorney Estate, near Huntly in Aberdeenshire, after raising £7.5m from 50 investors from across the globe, including Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, former CEO of SSE, Ian Marchant and former CEO of Unilever, Paul Polman.
As well as the crowdfunder, investments are also expected from equity investors and financial institutions. No funding limit has been set for the entirety of the Highlands Rewilding fundraiser, but the organisation is aiming to raise at least eight million plus.
