London & IMEX America,  9 October 2025  -  Cameron House, the luxury resort on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland, today announced the launch of a new on-site wood milling initiative, further strengthening its commitment to long-term environmental stewardship.

As part of the resort's established Land Management Plan, Cameron House regularly carries out ecological and safety surveys across its 400-acre estate. When trees are identified as unsafe; either through disease, age or seasonal storms the resort follows a strict protocol. Wherever possible trees are made safe through pruning, pollarding or, in extreme cases, monolithing and retained in situ. Where full removal is necessary, the resulting timber is typically chipped or repurposed into eco piles to support local biodiversity.

Through this new initiative, the first tree has been milled into a variety of materials, including one-inch and two-inch boards, sleepers and four-inch posts, offering the versatility to support a range projects. These will include wildlife habitats such as bat and bird boxes, while maintenance and grounds teams will repurpose the remaining timber for other initiatives across the resort. Once the wood has sufficiently dried, expected by late autumn or winter this year, these projects will begin. Looking to the future, Cameron House is also exploring opportunities to create bespoke furniture pieces for guest areas, using timber from species such as oak, larch and beech, which are ideally suited to carpentry and construction. In this way, felled trees are transformed into meaningful resources, ensuring their continued purpose throughout the resort.

“As part of Cameron House's ongoing commitment to circular principles, which focus on minimising waste, reusing resources, and extending the life of materials, we are dedicated to making the most of everything our estate provides. We already do a great deal to manage and protect the woodland around the resort, and this initiative is the next step — giving new life to trees that must be removed; while ensuring we extract maximum value from the existing materials. Ultimately, it's about working with what we already have, rather than consuming more,” said Tim Henson, Environment and Sustainability Manager at Cameron House.

Cameron House also maintains a 3:1 native tree planting policy, replanting three trees for every one removed. The next planting season begins in October, with pupils from West College Scotland taking part in on-site planting sessions, alongside resort staff.

Cameron House is Green Tourism certified (Gold) and the wood milling initiative complements existing sustainability practices across Cameron House's operations, including:

• A robust Land Management Plan to promote biodiversity and long-term habitat resilience
• On-site beehives and a dedicated Bee Garden to support pollinator populations
• Wildflower meadow planting and “Untidy Garden” areas to create habitats for insects and birds
• An Enchanted Woodland with wildlife shelters and biodiversity corridors

In other recent news, Cameron House announced that its recently opened fine dining restaurant, LOMA, sources ingredients from the new kitchen garden on the grounds, which is now supplying around 60% of the restaurant's herbs, vegetables and flowers — helping to cut food miles, maximise freshness and further strengthen Cameron House's sustainability programme under Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers. In addition, Cameron House unveiled a £300,000 redesign of its award-winning Cameron Spa.
