Located in the heart of Abernethy reserve, surrounded by Caledonian pine forest and in the shadow of the mighty Cairngorms, the Nature Centre is one of the RSPB’s most high-profile visitor facilities, with a legacy of delivering a top-quality visitor experience spanning over sixty-five years.

The Nature Centre is a 7-day-a-week seasonal facility (April to October) with a visitor experience focussed on Abernethy reserve, in particular the Caledonian pine forest and the species which live there, as well as the work of the Cairngorms Connect partnership.

We have recently developed a Changing Places facility for those with disabilities and upgraded two woodland trails to make them more accessible. This represents an exciting new era for the Loch Garten Nature Centre, and we are keen to share these upgraded facilities with a wider audience, helping more people to connect with the nature surrounding them, and growing support for nature conservation. 

You will occasionally be asked to patrol the local trails in the evening with a colleague, to engage with visitors who may be wild camping, ensuring the forest and local communities are protected from visitor impacts, including wildfire.
