  • The Ben and the Glen Celebrating 21 Years of the John Muir Trust Caring for Nevis
    johnmuirtrust.org/helpnevis The Ben and the Glen Celebrating 21 years of the John Muir Trust caring for Nevis School of rock Local lad Nathan Berrie on what Nevis means to him Woodland wonders SUPPORTED BY Restoring native tree cover in Glen Nevis johnmuirtrust.org/nevis21 02 Introduction Coming of age! WELCOME to our celebration of 21 years of caring for the Ben Nevis Estate – a story that began when the John Muir Trust took on the guardianship of this dramatic landscape in July 2000. The land we are privileged to look after includes the upper part of the southern and western flanks of Ben Nevis, plus the neighbouring summits of Carn Mor Dearg, Aonach Beag and Sgurr Choinneach Beag. This chain of high peaks is linked by mountain ridges that slope down to the Water of Nevis as it plunges in torrents through the densely wooded Steall Gorge. As a wild places conservation charity, we have many goals at Nevis. One of these is to enable the native woodland in Steall Gorge to expand and fulfil its natural potential – benefitting the many plant, insect and animal communities that it supports. Equally, we want to ensure that everyone can fully experience the area by maintaining paths and access routes, as well as develop new and innovative ways for people to immerse themselves in the landscape. Like so many others, this wild mountain and glen has shaped my life – providing both challenge and joy. I first visited as a child and remember climbing the Ben, crossing the wire bridge and scaling the peaks on the south side of Glen Nevis.
