This document contains an update on the Cairngorms National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP) for 2017-2022, covering the year 2019/20. The NPPP, approved by Scottish Ministers, coordinates work across the park to address key issues. It sets strategic direction for five key plans focusing on outdoor access, nature conservation, economic priorities, land-use planning, and sustainable rural development. The update highlights achievements in woodland expansion, peatland restoration, and biodiversity projects, alongside work on visitor experience and rural development initiatives. The report notes that the impact of the COVID-19 emergency on 2020/21 delivery will be assessed later.
