The project also provided for various public engagement initiatives to enable people to participate in the cultural and natural heritage of the area. These include the pilot Path Skills Training Project, the Cairngorms Adopt a Path Scheme, interpretation and an audiovisual project to tell the stories of the Cairngorms.
