And Forestry Commission (Scotland) are doing their bit too! Watch this space for a list of recreation events planned for the coming months (to be announced.)

Remember, if you fancy a spot of hill walking among Sutherland's beautiful mountains you can always take a look at one of Scotland's two would-be Munros (Munros are Scottish mountains of 3000 feet or more.) Foinaven, in Sutherland's west, recently came close to being reassessed from 2999 feet to 3000, which would have enabled it to qualify for Munro status! Never mind - it's still a cracking mountain to tackle! Why not walk it yourself and come to a view (literally!)
