The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project works to reinforce the vulnerable population of golden eagles in the south of Scotland; vital conservation work ensuring the survival of this iconic apex predator in our southern skies. Reinforcing an understanding and appreciation of this species amongst communities and visitors is just as important.
Six years in to our project we have engaged thousands of people including many young people; the future guardians of our natural environment. This is why we jumped at the chance to host students from the Vancouver Waldorf High School during early summer of 2023 on their International Service Trip.

Meet Aleen (formerly 'Biter'). During the winter of 2021, seven sub-adult eagles were translocated by the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project working with Dave and Graeme Anderson in an effort to support the growing population in the south of the country.
