JMT Skye wild land awareness

The John Muir trust owns and manages land in Torrin, Strathaird and Sconser on the Isle of Skye, some of the most spectacular landscapes in Scotland, designated as National Scenic Area (NSA), a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).

The Trust works with communities on the island to ensure that this wild land is conserved in a manner that is sensitive and locally appropriate.

Last year JMT Wild Land Awareness programme was launched to raise awareness of the work of the trust and encourage people to get involved. The Skye team is about to take to the hills over the Summer months to spread the word and find out what people think about our wild places. If you spot any of us in our JMT fleeces we're happy to chat and give you an information leaflet. We will be posting our thoughts and photographs here, but in the meantime you can read more about the JMT's work on Skye on the website: http://www.jmt.org/skye-estates.asp
