\"\" The National Trust for Scotland\u2019s Glencoe will mark the UN International Year of Biodiversity by giving visitors the opportunity to experience some of its highest mountains in a series of special ranger-led hikes. The challenging, high-level walks, which each take in a wide variety of habitats, begin on the International Day of Biodiversity \u2013 Saturday 22 May.<\/p>\n

Property Manager Scott McCombie said: \u201cAs a site of special scientific interest and home to a vast number of plant and animal species, Glencoe is the perfect place to celebrate biodiversity. I\u2019m sure hikers will enjoy spotting the creatures that live on its mountains as much as the beautiful views they can see from its summits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The full programme is listed below:<\/p>\n

Buachaille Etive Beag<\/a> – On Saturday 22 May and Saturday 16 October walkers will have the chance to hike the Buachaille Etive Beag ridge in the company of an expert Trust ranger.<\/p>\n
