Our aim is to continually develop the avalanche information service for all mountaineers, climbers walkers and skiers that enjoy the Scottish mountains and hills during the winter season. We have produced this survey in order to obtain your views and user information. We aim to provide a service that gives the best possible mountain and snowpack information to mountain users, enabling them to enjoy the Scottish winter mountain environment with greater knowledge and awareness of the avalanche hazard. Your feedback is important in helping us achieve this.

pine martens in the uk

The Vincent Wildlife Trust is currently running a project entitled Prospects for Pine Martens, which aims to find about more about pine martens one of the UK s rarest mammals in England and Wales.

We are currently appealing to various countryside/outdoor pursuit publications to help us to detect this elusive mammal and I wonder if you will be able to help. Pine martens are now restricted to upland craggy areas, including the Lake District, North Yorkshire, the Pennines and Snowdonia, where many people frequent for outdoor pursuits, particularly climbing and mountaineering. Tracking down pine martens is a difficult business, and so we re appealing for anyone who thinks they might have seen one to come forward and report the sighting to us.
