Promoting and protecting wild places

The John Muir Trust owns and cares for some of the finest wild places in the UK, including the summit of Ben Nevis. In acting to promote and protect wildness, we encourage sustainable land use that will allow future generations the opportunity to experience and benefit from the wild. It is important therefore that communities can thrive in and around our wildest locations, and that’s why we advocate slow tourism, where attention is focused on encouraging visitors to contribute to the preservation of a destination.
