This document contains the Active Cairngorms Action Plan, presented to the Cairngorms National Park Authority board for approval on 24 November 2023. Prepared by Murray Ferguson, Colin Simpson and Adam Streeter Smith, the Action Plan aims to make the National Park easier and safer to enjoy for everyone. The plan will deliver objectives relating to outdoor activity, health, wellbeing, and enjoyment of the park in a sustainable way. The board is asked to approve the plan, note the engagement that went into it, and note the work done by the Cairngorms National Park Authority and partner organisations, plus the grants awarded as part of the Visitor Infrastructure Improvement Programme. The Active Cairngorms Action Plan supports the National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027 and will be supported by the Local Outdoor Access Forum. The next steps include uploading the Action Plan to the website in January 2024 and re-launching the Local Outdoor Access Forum as the Active Cairngorms Advisory Forum in May 2024.
