THE RESTORATION OF THE CALEDONIAN FOREST - AIMS To create a foundation for the long-term restoration and management of the Caledonian Forest. The development and validation of standardised survey techniques for native woodlands to enable the assessment of different elements of the resource to be co-ordinated and compatible. The establishment of a database of all native woodlands that can be classified as Caledonian Forest to provide a sound basis for management decision making. The restoration of habitats within the Glen Affric Caledonian Forest Reserve and the demonstration of restoration techniques applicable to other parts of the Caledonian Forest. The development, through scientific research, of a better understanding of the processes underlying the degradation of the Caledonian Forest. This will enable appropriate advice to be given to landowners involved in its restoration.
