Willow Worlds is a community-led project using living willow structures to protect young trees without single-use plastic tree guards.

 

The first Willow World is growing at Muiredge Park, Buckhaven, with four more sites planned across Lowland Scotland.

 

 

 

 

Why Willow Worlds?

 

Plastic tree guards protect young trees, but eventually become plastic waste.

 

Living willow offers a regenerative alternative that grows into the landscape, creating habitat and capturing carbon as it develops.
