Swept away 200 years ago by massive harvests for use in the furnaces of the industrial revolution, the tall, graceful trees now cover less than 40 square miles of Scotland But Mr Macrae is deter­ mined to restore the pines that he feels are a vital part of his country's heritage For ten years, he has nursed hundreds of thousands of pine seedlings and planted them among the heather of Glen Affric Erecting seven-foot fences around the seedlings. Mr Macrae has kept away browsing sheep and red deer Now some trees have begun to shed their seeds, beginning the cycle of natural regeneration Wildcats, pine martens, crossbills and blackcock - species once threatened by the loss of the pine habitat they favored are returning to Glen Affric "The first time I flew over the highlands I was appalled by how little vegetation there was." says Mr Macrae, "and yet there's no doubt a romantic attachment to the Scotch pine, and to the idea of the great forest of Caledonia If something is truly lovely, why shouldn't it be left like that" It's our national heritage " Finlay Macrae will die long before he could see his pines replace the towering forests cut down 200 years ago Genuine concern for the world around us doesn t ask "What's in it for mer' but rather. "What can I do to make the world a better place for others0" Prairie Day To Be Observed In County Aug. 19 On Aug 19 from 9 30 until noon, the general public will be invited to go to the Queen-Anne Prairie conservation site for an experience in real prairie "roots" Guides stationed around this pioneer cemetery and state designated Class A prairie will give talks on prairie plants, prairie wildlife and .
