This document contains information for the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum about developing quiet areas for nature in the Cairngorms National Park. The Cairngorms National Park Authority and NatureScot are working with stakeholders to create a coordinated plan to protect the critically endangered capercaillie by reducing recreational disturbance in sensitive areas. The plan aims to identify and prioritise quiet areas for nature, focusing on areas where visitor management efforts are already in place. It will use measures such as ranger patrols, seasonal signage, path development, and community agreements to encourage responsible behavior and reduce disturbance, while respecting public access rights. The Park Authority will monitor the effectiveness of these measures and work with land managers and recreational users to determine if additional steps are needed, with the overall plan being added to the Active Cairngorms Action Plan.
