Are you passionate about Scotland’s national parks? Do you feel that you have a contribution to make to their protection, enhancement and development in the coming years?
The Scottish Government is looking to appoint new members to the boards of the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) and the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority (LLTNPA), who will have a key role in ensuring that both the natural environment and the local communities are cared for and sustained for current and future generations to enjoy, as well as helping the parks deliver Scottish Government objectives.
Park authority board members agree the long-term objectives for the Parks, setting out the priorities for work across the areas of conservation, visitor experience and rural development as well as representing the national parks and the park authorities by acting as ambassadors. Board members are required to attend full board and committee meetings – such as planning and finance – and have to be prepared to commit the time necessary to play a full part in these and other activities, usually two to three days a month.
