This is a collaborative volunteering event between Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland, Mountaineering Scotland and British Mountaineering Council to tackle the eroded state of the footpaths leading up to the Cuillin Hills.
Each day we will spend between 6-8 hours outside. The first two days will focus on path maintenance, clearing drainages and doing small repairs where appropriate. On the last day, we will help to plant native tree species in the Fairy Pools car park area to support the site’s regeneration and improve the local habitats.

It's Up to Us is a joint campaign in partnership with the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland. Our campaign aims to raise £300,000 to restore the path on An Teallach in the NW highlands which has become badly eroded due to footfall and weather. We need your support to complete this project, now in it's second year, and demonstrate what can and needs to be done for other upland paths in Scotland.
With no public funding available for path maintenance on privately owned land in Scotland, we are also working with partners and government to develop a sustainable model for funding to maintain upland paths for the generations to come.
