my first stop is the uk s largest national park, the cairngorms. i ve heard there is an ambitious 200 year plan to restore this landscape. but i m not sure our little van is up to the off road bits, so unfortunately, i ve had to switch temporarily to an old fashioned gas guzzler. excellent. it s a long jump down, this. so, dan, where are we? well, ade, we re in the cairngorm national park. we re at the abernethy forest which is owned by the rspb but is part of the cairngorm connect partnership. it is absolutely beautiful, can you tell me what cairngorms connect is?
dan, where are we? we are in the cairngorm national park, abernethy forest, owned by the rspb but part of the cairngorm connect partnership. it s absolutely beautiful, can you tell me what cairngorm connect is? it s a partnership between four different land owning organisations and what we are trying to do is restore natural processes, trying to get the forest to go back to its natural tree line, restoring peatlands which will help take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and where we have rivers that had been altered, we are making them more natural by restoring them to their natural channels. excuse my ignorance, to my untrained eye this looks pretty natural to me. why would you say it needs to be restored? we have been working here for the last 30 years and if you had come here 30 years ago you probably would not be able to see many young trees at all. it is the largest chunk of caledonian pine forest
