02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are a community conservation charity based in Lochaber in the West Highlands of Scotland. Our aim is to look after and manage Ben Nevis and the surrounding area. As a natural and cultural environment attracting over 150,000 visitors every year, the Nevis area needs sensitive management to maintain and protect its unique landscapes, flora, fauna and wildlife. We do this via volunteer activities such as path repair days, removal of invasive species and litter picks,. We also organise events related to the natural history of the area.
