Trees for Life enlisted Audio Light Systems to design and install an AV system for their new conference and education centre in northern Scotland. The facility required AV solutions for the main conference/event area, two education rooms, and the communal area.
In the main conference area, a challenge arose as it was not possible to mount equipment on the walls or ceilings. Audio Light Systems proposed a successful trolley-based solution that included a Samsung 98” display for video, a Fohnn Hybrid 1 speaker for presentation audio, and an LD Systems radio mic system connected to an Audio Technica digital mixer. Additionally, the client requested wireless device connectivity to the display, which was achieved through the inclusion of a Wolfvision Cynap Pure Mini.
In the education rooms, two Iiyama 75” interactive displays were mounted on electric height-adjustable trolleys to facilitate content delivery and lessons.
For the communal area, ALS installed a 65” Samsung commercial TV on a mobile trolley.
The project was completed on time and within budget.
Dundreggan Rewilding Centre story
“The Dundreggan Rewilding Centre is one of restoration and regeneration, made possible by our donors and funders incredible generosity and support. Thanks to their contributions, we have created a gateway to our flagship rewilding estate and tree nursery, where we grow tens of thousands of trees each year, including rare and hard-to-grow species.
Located just eight miles from Loch Ness, our estate has been rewilded by Trees for Life since 2008, recovering from centuries of damage caused by sheep, goats and deer grazing. By allowing the forest to regenerate naturally, we have expanded important fragments of Scotland’s Caledonian forest, providing a habitat for over 4,000 species of plants and animals, including golden eagles and black grouse.
Visitors to Dundreggan can now explore ancient pinewood and unique juniper forest, discover centuries of Gaelic history, and connect with a landscape undergoing transformation through rewilding. Our Rewilding Centre provides a space for a larger, more diverse audience to enjoy the wonders of nature and the heritage of the Scottish Highlands.”
