North Ross Deer Management Group is developing a future management plan to support the continued improvement of the area.
Chairman James Hall said the group would continue to manage deer numbers and further improve its understanding of wild deer behaviour in an area that is popular with walkers and mountaineers.
He said: “We are keen to work with a range of interests in an effort to protect this Site of Special Scientific Interest, whilst also recognising that the site requires a degree of herbivore activity, in terms of grazing of the special grasses, to ensure they survive and thrive.”
Chris Donald, NatureScot’s head of operations for Central Highland, said the progress made in North Ross had highlighted collaboration between private land managers and the public sector.
“Deer stalkers and the deer management group have made this agreement a great success, working together to help the special habitats of this area recover,” he said.
