This document contains the minutes from the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Performance Committee meeting, held on 12 September 2025. The committee approved the minutes from their previous meeting and discussed ongoing matters, including questions about the climate adaptation fund and an update from the Local Access Forum. A significant part of the discussion focused on the Cairngorms Peatland ACTION Programme, specifically its delivery for 2025 / 2026 and plans for 2026 / 2027. They talked about the programme's goal to restore 38,000 hectares of peatland by 2045, as outlined in the National Park Partnership Plan, and how this effort helps save carbon emissions, along with other aspects like contractor capacity and evaluating the programme's impact. The committee also looked at the draft Annual Report of the Performance Committee, finding the information suitable for circulation to the full board, and noted that the next meeting will be in person on 12 December 2025.
