The long-term vision of WildLand in the Cairngorms is to reverse centuries of ecological decline by restoring semi-natural landscapes comprising a range of habitats from river valley to mountain summits over a 200 year period. This will reinstate native woodlands and improve the condition of heaths, bogs and moorlands, increasing biodiversity, capturing and storing carbon, providing a sustainable timber resource and providing a high quality of recreational facilities for the public.
