A high-altitude woodland is to be created on Scotland's sixth highest mountain.
About 30,000 native trees, including dwarf birch and montane willows, are to be planted at around 600m (1,968ft) on Cairn Gorm, near Aviemore.
Organisations involved in the Coire na Ciste Montane Woodland Project said it was the first habitat restoration scheme of its kind due to its large size.
They said the plan was to restore an ecosystem that was almost lost to Scotland.
