We welcomed a group from the charity "A Band of Brothers" to Kintail over the weekend. They're an award winning charity that helps young men facing adversity to take control of their lives https://abandofbrothers.org.uk/
Thank you to everyone in the the group for all their hard work helping us with footpath maintenance at Kintail over a couple of days, all done as volunteers 👏
Special thanks to their leaders Tom, Michael and Mick.

We had our annual footpath maintenance volunteering week at West Affric last week. This is a unique opportunity to volunteer with the National Trust for Scotland for 1 week at one of the most remote areas of the country: to help us look after the paths in our care here and in turn help others enjoy their visit to West Affric.

Removing a Rhododendron ponticum bush from West Affric yesterday: somehow it had seeded over 7km from from the nearest parent bushes, on a high slope in Gleann Gniomhaidh. The relict native woodland is slowly regenerating here and Rhododendron ponticum would likely threaten this by multiplying and spreading if not removed.

Big thanks to all in the small group who helped us with footpath maintenance, bracken control at the Glen Shiel battlesite and stopping the spread of non-native Spruce trees along the banks of the River Shiel at Kintail last week 👏
