This monitoring report is to assess the impact of orienteering on the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve.
It is aimed at recording any damage to vegetation during an orienteering event held on the Sands of Forvie NNR, and if any damage caused, the rate of recovery.
A set of guidelines will be produced to assist orienteering event organisers and course planners at Sands of Forvie to minimize any damage to the vegetation based on the current research available and the results of the monitoring work.
As well as the impact on the vegetation as a result of the monitoring, the guidelines will also take into account the other bird and mammal interests on the site as well as recreational interests based on current literature and advice.
