The plan prioritizes fire management, species recovery, and improving opportunities for all visitors, with a focus on reducing wildfire risk, supporting species, and ensuring accessibility for diverse groups. The plan includes actions such as developing wildfire management plans, supporting capercaillie, reviewing active Cairngorms initiatives, and enhancing path and cycle networks. It emphasizes collaboration with partners, monitoring visitor behavior, and implementing measures to minimize disturbance to vulnerable species and habitats. The plan also identifies key visitor hot spots and warm spots, along with the necessary on-site support and prioritizes communication, wildfire prevention, managing informal camping, parking management, visitor infrastructure, and ranger patrols. The plan will be embedded in the Active Cairngorms Action Plan by the end of 2023, which includes the #CairngormsTogether campaign to promote responsible visitor behaviour.
