SMILE VISITORS

Ranger addressing delegates: Glen Tanar House and Ballroom in background, beyond pines.




Glen Tanar recently hosted a group of scientists from around Europe.



They are developing sustainability indicators as part of a European project (SMILE). The Macaulay (MLURI) is on the team- they are using the Cairngorms National Park as their 'case study'.



The visit to Glen Tanar gave the group an insight into land managers- and land owners- thinking: private estates are a key delivery mechanism, and their owners key decision makers, and so are crucial to the 'sustainability' debate.
