Red Fox - Vulpes vulpes

Restoring Nature's Balance

The Highlands are considered one of Europe's last great areas of wilderness, yet much of the flora and fauna that once thrived here has been driven to extinction by the activities of man.

The purpose of the Alladale Wilderness Reserve is to restore a remote area of the Highlands to its former natural glory.

At Alladale you will meet some of the lost species we have returned, and your stay will contribute directly to this pioneering conservation project.

Red fox are one of the most versatile and adaptable species in Britain. They can be found all over the country enjoying an urban life style as much as in the countryside. There ability to get into chicken pens and their taste for game birds has meant the fox has been hunted for years. Despite this they continue to thrive.
