    Great conservation work however worth explaining that the term “Laird” in Scotland just means landowner. It does not mean Lord or Lady, which are Titles of nobility and are arbitrated in the Court Of The Lord Lyon King Of Arms. Also buying a souvenir plot of land, which is what these 1ft square plots are, cannot be registered with the Land Registry in Scotland and therefore are not legally owned by the purchaser.

      We are all completely aware of your points. It’s just a bit of fun at the end of the day. As long as it isn’t used to defraud or deceive somebody then we can call ourselves anything we like in the United Kingdom. Nobody thinks that they have purchased a noble title or even a piece of land. We are fully aware of what we are buying and we are happy to support the conservation work. Chill out a little. If you don’t like it then simply move on by.

    Yeah Sitka spruce are native to the Pacific coast of Alaska down to northern California. It's named after the community of Sitka in southern Alaska, which means "People on the Outside of Baranof Island" in Tlingit. Native Americans in the area like to use it to make baskets, rain hats, caulking, and for medicinal purposes.
    Similar story to what happened to the native trees in regard to the takeover of the Sitka spruce is what's been happening to native trees in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego. Beavers were introduced to Tierra del Fuego by the Argentine government in 1946 because they thought it was a good idea to import nearly 50 beavers into a lake shared by it and Chile called Lake Cami to create a fur trade industry. But like other plans of the Argentine government, it did horrendously. Though the industry failed to materialize, this importation's had dire consequences for the region. They have no natural predators there, and they didn't ship any bears to counter them. So the beavers have been destroying long-protected trees, and they threaten six million hectares. Unlike trees in North America, these trees don't regenerate when destroyed.

      Don't you think we know that we are not owners or lords? It's not a scam, obviously you can't buy a piece of land by putting your mail and PayPal on a website. They explicitly say that it's symbolic and it lasts for a year. It's just a funny way to help the environment.
