Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum seeks new members
Do you have a good knowledge of, and interest in, outdoor access issues? Are you a land manager or recreational user or are you interested in outdoor access in and around your community?
The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) is keen to hear from volunteers who can make a positive contribution to outdoor access in the Cairngorms National Park by becoming a member of the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum.
The role of the Forum – which comprises 21 members and meets about 5 times a year at various venues through the Park – is to provide advice to the Park Authority and others about outdoor access issues.
If you think you could make a positive contribution and would like to know more about becoming a member of the Cairngorms Forum, please contact Catriona Campbell on tel: 01479 873535 for an application form or you can visit the CNPA website.
