An ‘ambitious’ Ben Nevis nature restoration project has been launched by a community organisation.

The Nevis Landscape Partnership, has secured over £80,000 of funding from the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund to launch the Nevis Nature Network.

The landscape-scale nature restoration project encompasses the iconic Glen Nevis and Ben Nevis. It aims to work in partnership with landowners to restore and expand degraded ancient habitats and secure a future for rare and vulnerable species.

This iconic landscape attracts about half a million visitors every year with well over one hundred thousand of those summiting Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the British Isles.
