The brewers were paid almost £700,000 in public money to plant saplings at the site, near Aviemore.
Scots beer giant BrewDog has confessed that their plan to save the world is in tatters after half of the trees they planted in the Highlands died.
Government agency Scottish Forestry told how the firm may have to take action fast to keep up its end of the deal. Brewdog co-founder James Watt boasted that he was willing to see the beer firm go bust in his efforts to save the planet. He said he’d spent £8.8million buying the 9,300-acre estate and wanted to plant more than a million trees to soak up carbon and was going to lose cash in doing so.
It’s reported that Scottish Forestry will keep an eye on the project to ensure Brewdog plant the trees they agreed to.Taking to LinkedIn, James Watt said: "Standing up to climate change can be an incredibly daunting task and it would be all too easy to disengage; to decide to leave it to others and even to deride the efforts of those who choose to fight.
"Woodland projects of this scale are always a challenge. You know that some saplings won’t survive, and you plan for it from the outset. But last summer’s extreme conditions resulted in a higher-than-expected failure rate, particularly Scots Pine, which is one of eleven native species we planted.
