A diverse natural habitat at the foot of the Cairngorms

This is one of eight National Nature Reserves in the Cairngorms National Park – a sign of the quality of the park’s environment and wildlife.

We work with NatureScot to conserve the range of habitats here, and the diverse plants and animals that depend on them.

The woodland is dotted with boggy pools, rich in insect life. While red squirrel, pine marten, crested tit and crossbill all make their homes in the trees. Dotterel, ptarmigan and mountain hare all prefer the wind and snow of the mountains.

The change from forest to scattered, wind-sculpted trees and bare mountain top is typical of the Cairngorms. At Invereshie and Inshriach you can see that change in a walk of just half an hour.
