WHAT IS A NATIONAL PARK?
Visited around 100 million times every year, the fifteen UK National Parks are Britain’s best loved landscapes. Truly national in presence – the National Parks cover around 10% of Great Britain's land area and are where people go to get inspired by the great outdoors. Vital to health and well-being, they are the green lungs of the nation.
People live and work in the UK’s National Parks. Anyone can visit at any time for free. That’s unique. But they offer so much more – these living, working landscapes also play a huge role in reviving nature, boosting biodiversity and tackling climate change making them ideal locations for leading-edge projects, like the ones featured in Wild Spaces.

Episode 4 ––
IN CINEMAS NOW
Episode 4 of Wild Spaces takes us to Scotland and the UK’s largest national park – the Cairngorms. Famous for its spectacular landscapes and iconic wildlife, the National Park is home to one quarter of the UK’s rare and endangered species, and nearly half of its area is considered ‘wild land’.
In this episode we’re telling the story of bringing beavers back to the Cairngorms National Park after an absence of 400 years. Beavers are an ecosystem engineer and are being brought back to help us in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.
Beavers are famous for their big flat tail and their ability to build dams. As a species they have an ability to change the environment around them, from coppicing trees to damming smaller water courses and creating narrow canals. In doing so, beavers create the ideal habitat for species such as frogs and toads, otters, water voles, dragonflies and birds.
In 2025 there are juvenile Beavers ready to find mates of their own, kits expected in several locations, and the tell-tale signs of nibbled sticks are being spotted by locals and visitors near lochs and along one of our most iconic rivers.

The Cairngorms National Park Authority is a public sector organisation that exists to support the National Park, but the funding that we have only goes so far. In a National Park the size of the Cairngorms, achieving work on the scale that we do, donations can play a huge part in ensuring our work remains bold and ambitious.
The Cairngorms Trust is a registered charity on a mission to promote sustainable and community-led development throughout the local area for the benefit of the people who live here and the visitors who come to enjoy all that the National Park has to offer.
From supporting local businesses to reduce their carbon emissions to funding cycling and path infrastructure, the Cairngorms Trust supports a range of projects that empower communities and preserve the environment.
