Affinity Private Wealth has recently been working hard for one of our clients on an exciting and transformative project. Today, we are thrilled to unveil the results of the efforts of David, Cait and Courtney by sharing the attached video link from Durrell.
Through our work with the client over the past few years, we supported them towards focussing their philanthropic interests towards a conservation project, which was missing from their already generous range of giving. We helped them reach a family consensus that conservation and the environment were an important cause for them resulting in the purchase of land for rewilding. They had previously considered a Scottish land purchase, but were unsure how to proceed comfortably. However, after introducing them to Durrell, a suitable partner was found to undertake the rewilding work.
Acknowledging the conservation pun ‘from little acorns oak trees grow’, the structure is now the owner of 7,650 hectares in Scotland (76.5 sqkm). We have leased this land to Durrell, who will oversee the rewilding efforts through a newly formed charity for 100 years. The goal is to plant woodland for biodiversity while also restoring valuable peatland - the video from Durrell provides further insights into this endeavour.
This project represents our dedication as a sustainable trustee, striving to realise the philanthropic aspirations of our clients by aligning their wealth with their values, a cornerstone of Affinity’s core purpose. We are truly honoured to have played a part in guiding our client on this transformative journey in environmental conservation. We thank our client for their unwavering support and belief in making a positive impact on our planet.
We look forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses. Watch the video from Durrell to find out more about the Dalnacardoch project.
