Cairngorms Futurescape TreeFest 2014 - Programme confirmed

Futurescapes is about facilitating landscape-scale conservation – homes for nature that are bigger, better and better-connected. In the Cairngorms there is 60% of the 1% left of the full historic extent of the Caledonian Forest. You can go to places where you are surrounded by the Caledonian forest in Strathspey especially, where it is easy to forget that if you go over the other side of the hill just out of sight, there may be very little for miles upon miles. It is about the forest re-finding its place in the landscape and peoples hearts.

What we have is fantastic, and to celebrate and offer the opportunity to experience the wonder of the native woods of the Cairngorms, Futurescapes is co-ordinating 9 days of celebration across the Cairngorms – 15 events led by 12 organisations from Perthshire in the south, Strathspey in the north and Aberdeenshire in the east. There is an event for everyone and the dates for your diary are 26 July to 3 August. The full programme can be viewed below – more information will be posted here, or contact the Cairngorms Futurescape team for more information.
