TRD

Tiree Rural Development Ltd (known as TRD) is a community company limited by guarantee with charitable status charged with caring for the island’s land-based interest on behalf of its residents and visitors. The charity works hard on many projects relating to the island’s fragile biodiversity and crafting way of life. The agricultural community and environmental agencies on Tiree carry out their work side by side to preserve a matchless example of genuine heritage. Tiree is first and foremost a livestock producing island; its reputation for the quality livestock is central to the islands economy and specific cattle grazing regimes and agricultural systems are essential to preserve many of the unique natural habitats found here.
