Formal Board Paper 1 - CEO Report and Convener update

For inform­a­tion

Title: Chief Exec­ut­ive Officer Report and Con­vener update Pre­pared by: Grant Moir, Chief Exec­ut­ive Officer

Pur­pose

To high­light to Board Mem­bers the main stra­tegic areas of work that are being dir­ec­ted by Man­age­ment Team. These are areas where sig­ni­fic­ant staff resources are being dir­ec­ted to deliv­er with part­ners the aspir­a­tions of the Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan (NPPP).

Nature and Cli­mate Change

  1. Park Author­ity staff atten­ded a meet­ing between NatureScot and sig­nat­or­ies of the Caen­lochan Sec­tion 7 Agree­ment on 04 June 2026. This fol­lowed on from an earli­er meet­ing where NatureScot had explained that sig­nat­or­ies had fallen short of cull tar­gets for 202526 and that the Agree­ment might be con­sidered to have failed. How­ever, the cull tar­gets required in 202627 to meet the terms of the Sec­tion 7 Agree­ment are now rel­at­ively small and all sides have agreed they can be achieved.

  2. Cli­mate Adapt­a­tion Fund grant offers totalling £305,301 have been issued to suc­cess­ful applic­ants in week end­ing 12 June. The Park Authority’s pro­cesses have there­fore giv­en over nine months of the year for suc­cess­ful applic­ants to com­plete their pro­ject proposals.

  3. £1.01 mil­lion Nature Res­tor­a­tion Fund­ing has been secured to deliv­er spe­cies recov­ery work on fresh­wa­ter pearl mus­sel, caper­cail­lie and wood ants as well as sup­port­ing pond, aspen and mont­ane nature net­work deliv­ery. Build­ing on the approach on the Dee a catch­ment audit will be under­taken in the Spey to identi­fy oppor­tun­it­ies for catch­ment scale res­tor­a­tion and cli­mate resilience.

  4. Res­ults from the Caper­cail­lie lek counts are encour­aging, with the num­ber of male caper­cail­lie at breed­ing lek sites in the Park rising by 30% this year. A total of 170 birds were recor­ded this year in the Cairngorms Nation­al Park, up from 131 in 2025. This is an encour­aging res­ult and marks a sig­ni­fic­ant mile­stone for the Caper­cail­lie Emer­gency Plan, reflect the ded­ic­a­tion of land man­agers, agen­cies and volun­teers across the Park to sup­port caper­cail­lie recovery.

  5. The nation­al breed­ing mer­lin sur­vey is under­way between April — July 2026. The last full UK mer­lin sur­vey was 16 years ago, and the cur­rent status of the pop­u­la­tion in the Nation­al Park is unknown. To ensure full cov­er­age and rep­res­ent­a­tion, the Park Author­ity has com­mis­sioned inde­pend­ent con­tract­ors work­ing in cooper­a­tion with land man­agers to sup­ple­ment data gath­er­ing in areas where there are gaps in the nation­al record­ing efforts.

  6. The Dee Resi­li­ence Group has strengthened its gov­ernance with form­al rep­res­ent­a­tion and agreed terms of ref­er­ence. Fol­low­ing extens­ive engage­ment with land man­agers and stra­tegic part­ners, we have co-designed case stud­ies to tri­al new approaches that address bar­ri­ers to catch­ment-scale cli­mate resi­li­ence and sup­port the wider Pub­lic Ser­vice Reform pro­gramme. Eval­u­ations of the cost of nat­ur­al flood man­age­ment and soil-erosion inter­ven­tions are under­way across the Upper Dee and South Esk, with indic­at­ive whole-catch­ment costs. A new nat­ur­al cap­it­al feas­ib­il­ity study is now assess­ing asset value, mar­ket demand, pro­spect­ive buy­ers, and com­mer­cial routes to mon­et­ising nat­ur­al cap­it­al for hab­it­at restoration.

Plan­ning and Place

  1. Con­tracts have been let for safety and land­scap­ing improve­ments to the snow roads install­a­tions at Still” and The Watch­ers” with works to take place dur­ing the summer.

  2. The con­struc­tion work to improve and expand the Forestry and Land Scot­land Loch Mor­lich beach car park which was part fun­ded by the Park Author­ity was com­pleted in April with small scale snag­ging works and install­a­tion of sig­nage still to follow.

  3. Applic­a­tions for fund­ing from the Vis­it­or Infra­struc­ture Improve­ment Pro­gramme closed in May and fol­low­ing assess­ments a num­ber of grant offers have been made for part­ner led projects.

  4. Recruit­ment for the Park Author­ity Ranger Ser­vice has been com­pleted in advance of the peak sea­son with the last few sea­son­al rangers in post from late April and four train­ee rangers recruited and star­ted on 16 June.

  5. Train­ing for both Park Author­ity and part­ner rangers was delivered by Police Scot­land in early May to ensure rangers are able to carry out engage­ment and enforce­ment regard­ing the new fire byelaw. As well as cov­er­ing the appro­pri­ate leg­al pro­cesses and areas such as evid­ence gath­er­ing the course also focussed on how staff can keep them­selves safe in poten­tially chal­len­ging situ­ations. A train­ing ses­sion on vis­it­or engage­ment and out­door access was also run for estate staff who come into con­tact with vis­it­ors but are not in a ranger or warden role.

  6. A Cairngorms 2030 (C2030) pro­gramme grant scheme sup­port­ing the devel­op­ment of com­munity cycle hubs and related cyc­ling activ­it­ies ran dur­ing early spring. Applic­a­tions were assessed dur­ing May and offers have been made to pro­jects in Aviemore, Bal­later, Glen­more, Grant­own-on-Spey and Kin­gussie as well as one Park wide initiative.

  7. Loc­al Devel­op­ment Plan (LDP): The Evid­ence Report for our next LDP has been sub­mit­ted to the Scot­tish Government’s (SG) Divi­sion for Plan­ning and Envir­on­ment­al Appeals (DPEA) for its gat­echeck’ review to ensure the evid­ence is suf­fi­cient. The gat­echeck pro­cess is expec­ted to take around three months, and the DPEA tar­get date for com­plet­ing it is 07 July. In par­al­lel with the gat­echeck pro­cess, a Call for Sites and Ideas was under­taken from late March until mid-June. This enabled com­munit­ies, indi­vidu­als, organ­isa­tions and landown­ers to sug­gest ideas that could help shape future plan­ning policies and to sug­gest poten­tial devel­op­ment sites for con­sid­er­a­tion. The LDP team are now assess­ing all the submissions.

  8. Plan­ning case­work: Since the last Form­al Board meet­ing in March, the Plan­ning Com­mit­tee has gran­ted plan­ning per­mis­sion for a forestry extrac­tion track at New­ton­more, a hydro-elec­tric scheme at a hotel near Spit­tal of Glen­shee, an estate lar­der near Tomin­toul, and a minor vari­ation to a house plot on an exist­ing plan­ning per­mis­sion at Sta­tion Yard, Nethy Bridge. The Com­mit­tee also met on 12 June to con­sider plan­ning applic­a­tions for a motorhome site at Bal­later, a new moun­tain bik­ing track at the Lecht Ski Centre and a vari­ation to a con­di­tion on an exist­ing plan­ning per­mis­sion for a new dis­til­lery near Lag­gan, as well as a ret­ro­spect­ive plan­ning applic­a­tion for a stor­age build­ing at the Revack Estate.

  9. Com­munity Led Loc­al Devel­op­ment (CLLD): The Cairngorms Trust, sup­por­ted by the Park Author­ity as its Account­able Body for SG CLLD Fund­ing, has received an alloc­a­tion totalling £364,336 for the 202627 fin­an­cial year. The Trust has opened applic­a­tions for this fund with the first round of decision-mak­ing on pro­ject fund­ing held at the Trust’s board meet­ing of 13 May. An updated Memor­andum of Agree­ment between the Park Author­ity and the Cairngorms Trust has bene signed fol­low­ing con­sid­er­a­tion of this doc­u­ment by the Board’s Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee. The Cairngorms Trust con­tin­ues to play a lead role in the form­a­tion of a new Nation­al CLLD Net­work for Scot­land, includ­ing all 20 Scot­tish Loc­al Action Groups as mem­bers of that net­work, with the aim of pos­it­ively influ­en­cing the devel­op­ment of SG CLLD policy and funding.

Com­mu­nic­a­tions and Engagement

  1. The total digit­al reach of the fire byelaws cam­paign now stands at just shy of 1.7 mil­lion unique indi­vidu­als, or 7.3 mil­lion impres­sions. Our video adverts have been viewed 745,000 times. Our digit­al agency Bright Sig­nals have high­lighted that the click-through rate is over three times high­er than the aver­age for cam­paigns of this type, with the vast major­ity of audi­ence mem­bers hav­ing nev­er engaged with our con­tent before. We have also short­l­is­ted a num­ber of social media influ­en­cers to help spread the word about the byelaw ahead of the sum­mer sea­son, includ­ing a mix of bush­craft, out­doors or van life’ con­tent cre­at­ors (largely reach­ing young­er vis­it­ors to the Nation­al Park).

  2. Over 250 sep­ar­ate pieces of media cov­er­age were pub­lished / aired in the week lead­ing up to the launch of the byelaw includ­ing spe­cial reports on Chan­nel 4, Chan­nel 5, STV News and BBC Report­ing Scot­land, as well as an inter­view with Grant Moir on BBC Break­fast News. The story appeared in print / online with Sky News, the Press and Journ­al, Her­ald, Scots­man, Sun, Daily Mail and the BBC, as well as in spe­cial­ist pub­lic­a­tions such as The Scot­tish Farm­er, Forestry Journ­al, Land Busi­ness and Scot­tish Moun­tain­eer. The byelaw was also the focus for a spe­cial epis­ode of Land­ward in May. Fur­ther press and media activ­ity is planned around the byelaw, includ­ing our use of thermal drones to detect fires on the ground.

  3. Over 100 busi­nesses and com­munity groups have got involved in the fire byelaw cam­paign so far, tak­ing advant­age of a suite of online and phys­ic­al resources, from win­dow stick­ers to pin badges and bespoke sig­nage. This includes the team at Cairngorm Brew­ery, who have kindly agreed to dis­trib­ute our no flame, no spark’ beer­mats to bars and pubs across the region. We have organ­ised a series of online busi­ness drop-in events with Cairngorms Busi­ness Part­ner­ship (CBP) to pro­mote the byelaw, explain how busi­nesses can get involved and answer any ques­tions. We are also work­ing with Scot­tish Land and Estates (SLE) to get the mes­sage out to part­ner estates, and our offer of bespoke sig­nage has been picked up by Aviemore and Glen­more Trust at Glen­more Vis­it­or Centre, amongst others.

  4. Social media impres­sions have been par­tic­u­larly high over the past few months, rising 365% year-on-year to 7.4 mil­lion. How­ever, by com­par­is­on engage­ments have ris­en 24% (to 95,000), indic­at­ing that the paid-for fire byelaw advert­ising cam­paign may be hav­ing an impact on our organ­ic fig­ures. Our total audi­ence across Face­book, Ins­tagram, Linked­In and Bluesky rose by 3,406 over the three-month peri­od (or 3.8%) to 93,032. Video views were up 113% to 524,742, likely driv­en by a redoubled focus on short, share­able con­tent such as the fire byelaw, Com­munit­ies Fund and Nature Res­tor­a­tion Fund short inter­views to camera.

  5. On our web­site we had 28,804 act­ive users (no com­par­able fig­ures for 2024). Large-scale devel­op­ments included the cre­ation of a spe­cif­ic Gael­ic site in line with our Gael­ic Lan­guage Plan com­mit­ments. The copy for this has been trans­lated and the build is in pro­gress, likely to be com­pleted by the end of sum­mer. We are also mak­ing improve­ments to the news and views sec­tion of the site, aimed at encour­aging more repeat visits.

  6. Sev­en ses­sions (a mix of online and face-to-face) have now taken place for the new C2030 Com­munit­ies Fund pan­el. So far, the group have dis­cussed everything from the num­ber and size of pots avail­able to eli­gib­il­ity cri­ter­ia, equal­it­ies, diversity and inclu­sion con­sid­er­a­tions and how the applic­a­tion pro­cess should func­tion. Work­ing closely with par­ti­cip­a­tion char­ity Involve, the pan­el will look to final­ise the fund design over the com­ing weeks, ahead of a launch date later this sum­mer. You can see also a short video piece fea­tur­ing pan­el mem­bers here. (Note: Ori­gin­al link was not provided in OCR, this is a placeholder)

  7. The Engage­ment team have been final­ising details of this year’s road­show and com­munity events. Com­munity drop-ins were held in Dal­whin­nie / Lag­gan on Thursday 04 June, Blair Atholl on Sat­urday 20 June and planned for Angus Glens in Octo­ber, with the Park Author­ity hav­ing a pres­ence at events includ­ing the Lon­ach Gath­er­ing, High­land Pride, Grant­own Show, Tomin­toul High­land Games and Bal­later Winter Fest­iv­al. This latest set of events will mean that the team has vis­ited every major set­tle­ment in the Nation­al Park with­in the last two years.

  8. The next Cul­tur­al Her­it­age Net­work event has been organ­ised for Tues­day 13 Octo­ber at Boat Hall. This ses­sion will build on a pre­vi­ous gath­er­ing of over 20 cul­tur­al her­it­age prac­ti­tion­ers back in March, agree­ing and tak­ing for­ward key pri­or­it­ies for the net­work, includ­ing a con­nec­ted archiv­ing project.

  9. The sum­mer edi­tion of Cairn magazine is cur­rently in pro­duc­tion and is due to hit door­steps towards the end of July. In addi­tion to the usu­al mix of nature and com­munity stor­ies, this issue will fea­ture an update on the fire byelaw, an in-depth guide to our peat­land res­tor­a­tion work, an inter­view with Angus Glens Ranger, George Pat­ter­son, and the latest from our future farm­ing project.

  10. Our two pock­et-sized leaf­lets on fires and bar­be­cues and tread lightly’ in the Nation­al Park have proved hugely pop­u­lar dur­ing the fire byelaw rol­lout, to the extent that we are doing a reprint of 10,000 cop­ies each. The tread lightly ver­sion is also being trans­lated into 10 lan­guages fol­low­ing a request from Police Scot­land. Work is also ongo­ing to replace the old camp­ing and camper­vans leaf­let, pre­vi­ously pro­duced by CBP. A new Tomin­toul paths leaf­let has also been developed, in col­lab­or­a­tion with the loc­al com­munity and Crown Estate Scot­land. The leaf­let fea­tures a new map and updated inform­a­tion. Next in line are Nethy Bridge and Boat of Garten.

Organ­isa­tion­al Development

  1. Staff­ing update: Since March, the fol­low­ing staff changes took place:

  2. Staff leav­ing the organ­isa­tion: a) Jod­ie Hagan’s short-term intern­ships (four months) ended.

  3. Staff join­ing the organ­isa­tion: a) Man­ouk Wilkin­son joined as Peat­land Action Pro­ject Officer, repla­cing Simon Thomas.

  4. Ranger update: a) We appoin­ted four Train­ee Rangers. There were over 180 applic­a­tions for these three-month con­tracts. The new Train­ee Rangers are Ber­nice Swift, Emma Tivey, Jake Duncan and Kirsty Barr.

  5. Staff appoint­ments: a) There were no staff appoint­ments dur­ing the report­ing period.

  6. Roles appoin­ted for future dates: a) We have appoin­ted a Fin­ance Man­ager. This role was re-shaped fol­low­ing Mark Tucker’s resig­na­tion. b) Live recruit­ment — posts cur­rently being recruited are Con­ser­va­tion Officer – 12-month fixed term post to add resi­li­ence to the team and sup­port the work to deliv­er the Nature Res­tor­a­tion Fund. c) Inform­a­tion Man­age­ment Intern – six-month intern­ship to sup­port the Inform­a­tion Man­age­ment team man­age the data and inform­a­tion generated.

  7. Youth Devel­op­ment – there has been ongo­ing sup­port for career events in loc­al schools, most recently a staff mem­ber was on the judging pan­el of the Youth Phil­an­thropy Ini­ti­at­ive (YPI) at Kin­gussie High School.

  8. Organ­isa­tion­al Devel­op­ment: a) The Organ­isa­tion­al Devel­op­ment and People Strategy (ODPS) has now been final­ised, tak­ing account of the vari­ous intern­al and extern­al drivers of change over the last few years, togeth­er with the staff sur­vey res­ult, and the Work­force Man­age­ment Strategy that was presen­ted to board last year, and sub­sequently approved by the Resources Com­mit­tee. Fol­low­ing approv­al of the ODPS by the Resources Com­mit­tee, it has now been con­sul­ted with staff. The next stage is to fully devel­op an action plan to deliv­er the four key themes that the strategy has iden­ti­fied. These themes are:

    i. Planning for the workforce for the future.
    ii. Sustaining and improving a skilled, flexible and motivated workforce.
    iii. Building leadership and management capacity.
    iv. Facilitating a culture that empowers our diverse team to embrace change, adapt quickly and deliver on our ambitions.
    
  9. Well­being, engage­ment and equal­ity: a) The Park Author­ity par­ti­cip­ated in High­land Pride in Inverness in early June. Staff joined the march and also served on a stand where the focus was on enga­ging with people about Cairngorms 2030, the spe­cial land­scapes sur­vey, fire bylaws, and LGB­TQ+ inclu­sion in the Park Authority.
