The Reindeer Trust

About

Through research, increased awareness and knowledge exchange, RT aims to help reindeer herds throughout the northern hemisphere to understand, identify and treat tick related diseases. RT will engage with scientific bodies and interested individuals to study and quantify data collected from the Cairngorm Reindeer. As RT develops, we hope to foster such partnerships, with the results of this work to be shared with the reindeer herd. In time and when we have built up sufficient resources we would like to link up with the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre, to fund opportunities to take reindeer to visit care homes and hospices in the North of Scotland. Meeting reindeer can be a very relaxing, social and therapeutic experience for residents. In the future, we would also like to be able to financially support groups, in the form of grants, to be able to experience reindeer at close hand by making a visit to the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd.
