Ecological Restoration at Mar Lodge Estate.

In part one, Helen Needham goes on a personal pilgrimage to find the source of the River Dee close to the top of Braeriach, with a little help from Nan Shepherd.

And in part two, Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith visit the National Trust for Scotland's Mar Lodge Estate in Upper Deeside where they meet ecologist, Andrew Painting.  Andrew has written about the estate in his book 'Regeneration - The Rescue of a Wild Land' and describes how their unique approach to land management could offer an example to other estates, encompassing both conservation and sporting interests.
