The Isle of Man's climate and geography make it almost "100% suitable for temperate rainforest", the head of a wildlife charity says after volunteers helped plant tens of thousands of trees.

The project by the Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) saw 30,000 trees planted over three years at the Creg y Cowin reserve, a 105-acre (42-hectare) site bought by the charity in 2023.

The area was previously used for low-grade grazing and, sitting between two rivers with limited agricultural value, was identified as an ideal spot for rainforest restoration.
