Con­ser­va­tion and Land Use
Area of new nat­ive woodland	1000 ha pa	Wood­land expan­sion is pro­gress­ing well in some key areas through deer man­age­ment e.g. on Mar Lodge Estate and the ​‘Cairngorms Con­nect’ Estates (owned by RSPB, Wild­land Ltd, Forest and Land Scot­land and SNH). We are also in dis­cus­sion with a num­ber of oth­er private estates poten­tially lead­ing to some large schemes of 200ha or more. In the six East Cairngorms Moor­land Part­ner­ship estates we anti­cip­ate wood­land expan­sion of 2 – 3000 hec­tares over the next ten years, the major­ity of which will be through regen­er­a­tion on Mar Lodge estate. Across the Nation­al Park as a whole we need to see great­er uptake of the Forestry Grant Scheme if we are to achieve NPPP targets.	Green
Area of peat­land restoration	1000 ha pa	Peat­land Action awar­ded £1.3million in 2018⁄19 for ten pro­jects cov­er­ing 1052 hec­tares. This year a fur­ther 9 pro­jects approx­im­ately cov­er­ing 2500 hec­tares are in the pipeline with a budget of £1.5m. The nation­al budget for Peat­land Action is £3m so com­pet­i­tion will be high for funds.	Green
Deer dens­ity across Deer	Reduc­tions towards 10 per km² or less	Dens­it­ies in ​‘Cairngorms-Spey­side’ area main­tained at <5 deer/​km² to enable wood­land regen­er­a­tion. Most areas man­aged as grouse moors are main­tain­ing low dens­it­ies of <5 deer/​km². Most sig­ni­fic­ant areas with high­er dens­it­ies e.g. North Atholl and Caen­lochan are aim­ing to main­tain high culls to reduce dens­it­ies – this remains under review.	Amber
