Paris Steele supports new oak woodland

07 May 2025

There’s a valley in East Lothian that cuts through two areas of ancient woodland. In 2017, Paris Steele joined other supporters to help Forest Carbon create a new woodland to connect them.

Arnott’s Loan is an oakwood in Dunbar that connects an area of ancient semi-natural woodland and a site of special scientific interest. With over 25,000 oaks planted, together with rowan, birch, hawthorn and hazel, it has been designed to improve habitat connectivity and diversity of wildlife.

Forest Carbon works with businesses and land holders, helping to fund the planting of trees and restore peatlands. Not only do these projects remove millions of tonnes of CO2e from the atmosphere, they also enhance biodiversity and improve water quality.

Which is why we, at Paris Steele, are delighted to know that Arnott’s Loan is thriving for future generations. Find out how Paris Steele Legal can support you planning for your future on our Services for Individuals page, or contact us at northberwick@parissteele.com.
