Scotland Transforms Former Golf Course into Thriving Nature Reserve

Once a manicured golf course, the Plock of Kyle in Scotland has undergone a remarkable transformation into a biodiversity haven, proving that land can be reclaimed for nature while benefiting the community. The 60-acre parkland, located near the Isle of Skye, now hosts wildflower meadows, peat bogs, woodlands, and coastal habitats, providing a refuge for roe deer, otters, dragonflies, and countless bird species.

This rewilding effort is part of a growing global movement to restore former golf courses to natural landscapes. Across the world, similar projects in the United States, Canada, and Australia are showing that repurposing these vast green spaces can boost biodiversity, improve water conservation, and offer local communities new ways to connect with nature.

As more places rethink land use, projects like the Plock demonstrate that rewilding can be a win for both nature and people. With paths now weaving through its diverse ecosystems, this once-forgotten golf course has become a living classroom, a community retreat, and a beacon of environmental restoration.
