The dates and programme for this year’s Cairngorms Nature Festival have been announced.
The Cairngorms Nature Festival will be held over the weekend of Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 May and will focus on events within a 20 minute drive of four centres: Aviemore, Ballater, Blair Atholl and Tomintoul.
Black Grouse lek
Planned activities include a family night camping out with a ranger to experience the sights and sounds of night time wildlife, guided walks to lesser visited spots in the Cairngorms, a sunset photography session, and a dawn black grouse lek safari. Whilst there are plenty of family events and sessions aimed at children there are also longer walks, and events where adults have a chance to take on volunteering and scientific activities.
Events are still being added to the programme but you can check out and book the events planned so far on the Cairngorms Nature website.
