While samplings of #alpine beasties in the #Cairngorms #NationalPark for my #BEN_EAF project at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still in the preparation, here some impressions of the critters I've found while hiking.

Rare moss only found in Cairngorms rescued from fallen tree
Aspen bristle-moss has only been found growing on 60 aspen trees in Britain, all of them in the Cairngorms.
The fallen tree supported 5% of the species' population. Transplanted to 19 aspens near Aviemore.

Conservation work funded by NatureScot, Cairngorms National Park Authority and Swire Charitable Trust.
