  • Cairngorms National Park Estate Management Statement RSPB
    Cairngorms National Park Estate Management Statement Name of Estate: RSPB ABERNETHY NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE Area (ha): 13,714 hectares Location: From near Boat of Garten and Nethybridge through Abernethy Forest, beyond Forest Lodge out to Meall a Bhuachaille, Cairn- gorm, Ben Macdui Ben Mheadhoin, the march then following the Lairig an Laoigh and Caiplich to Gael Charn Beag. Ownership: Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Overall purpose of Abernethy is an iconic RSPB nature reserve, representing land- management: scape-scale conservation at its most spectacular. Much of the reserve is designated as SSSI, SPA, SAC, NNR, NSA and, in part, a Ramsar site. It is one of the most biodiverse reserves in the Society’s management, with over 4,800 recorded species; of which 800 are nationally important; some are new to science or only found in the UK at Abernethy. The reserve includes the largest surviving remnant of ancient native Caledonian pinewood in Scotland, one of the rarest habitats in the UK. The reserve encompasses a substantial part of the Cairngorm plateau; the largest area above 900m in the UK. It is a wild, sub-Arctic envi- ronment, supporting nationally important montane and snowbed plant communities; it is home to dotterel, ptarmigan and snow bunting. The reserve is a ‘Mecca’ for UK birdwatchers. The vision for Abernethy over the next 200 years is bold and ambitious. Abernethy will be widely regarded as the best exam- ple of a near natural, boreal forest in Britain, and one of the fin- est examples in NW Europe of an oceanic boreal forest.

The programme will include presentations, posters and plenary discussion in the spacious new Community Hall in Boat of Garten on Friday 3rd (registration provisionally 9-9.50am) and visits to several Aspen woods on Saturday 4th. The indoor sessions will include the following presentations and posters: Aspen and forest biodiversity in North European boreal forests Professor Jari Kouki Building biodiversity – how does Aspen support 300 lichen species?

  • Dulnain Bridge and Nethy Bridge the Map on the Opposite Page Shows the Proposed Core Paths Network for the Area Around Dulnain Bridge, Skye of Curr and Nethy Bridge
    Map 18 Dulnain Bridge and Nethy Bridge The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the area around Dulnain Bridge, Skye of Curr and Nethy Bridge. The paths proposed within this area have been chosen as they best fit with the objectives of the Core Paths Plan. The Outdoor Access Strategy13 identifies a need to develop better networks around communities: both Dulnain Bridge and Skye of Curr having at present no promoted paths. Proposed core paths LBS95, LBS97 and LBS99 should go a long way towards catering for this as well as providing opportunities for a range of abilities and activities. These routes provide links to places of interest such as the Roche Moutonnees, the River Dulnain and Spey and Skye of Curr Woods. Paths selected here will also help land managers better manage access with their ongoing land management operations. There are good links between Nethy Bridge and Dulnain Bridge as well as to Grantown-on-Spey and Boat of Garten on the Speyside Way (LBS116) and to other areas in the Park such as Glenmore via the Ryvoan Pass (LBS127). Many of the paths selected have been put in place and are cared for by Explore Abernethy, with the support of local land owners and businesses. A number of paths in the area cater for a range of activities and a range of abilities, for example parts of LBS87 is popular for cyclists and is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The woods around Nethy Bridge are particularly important for visitors and residents and the proposed core paths help people to enjoy the cultural heritage of the area, for example at the old mill.

  • Speyside Way
    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Speyside Way The Speyside Way opened in 1981 and offers spectacular scenery in a region of Northeast Scotland famed for its Whisky Distilleries. It is a scenic walk along riverside tracks and through pinewoods, with plenty of opportunity to sample the local malt whiskies along the way. Starting in Buckie on the Moray coast you will walk through the heart of malt whisky country and towards the foothills of the Cairngorms. Generally the way is straightforward, along paths and disused railway lines, through farmland, across hills and through splendid scenery of mixed woods, beside the river Spey.
