CEO Comment
2009 A Year to Remember 09/12/09
Hi,Having been in post as Chief
Executive for the National Park for over a year now, I wanted to take this
opportunity to share with you some of the highlights of that time. While there
have certainly been some challenges, there has also been the satisfaction of
knowing we are on the right track and achieving success along the way.
But the reason I love this job so much is that we’re safeguarding the
National Park for future generations to enjoy and despite all the challenges, I
believe we have made great progress this year in our three main areas of work,
namely Visitor Experience, Conservation and Rural Development.
National Park Community Partnership Update 01/10/09
Hi,
I would like to tell you
about an exciting transformation that is happening in the way communities are
supported in the National Park.
The National Park Authority
put forward a proposal to the National Park Community Partnership to
significantly increase its independent role in providing support services to
community organisations in the Park, as well as delivering projects. And I am
delighted to say that the Community Partnership approved our proposal yesterday.
A Busy Summer in the National Park 27/08/09
Hi, We had a strong feeling that record
numbers would visit the National Park this summer as more people choose to
holiday at home and we certainly have been proved right. Our Rangers are speaking to as many visitors as possible and also keeping the 720sq
miles of the National Park looking at its best.
Ranger teams have
been working from 10am to 10pm every day including weekends and in key visitor
hotpots such as Luss, Sallochy and Millarochy Bay and Loch Lubnaig to ensure visitors
are welcomed. They are also able to share their expert knowledge about
the Park and advise people where to visit, the best places to eat and stay and
what they can expect to see on their trip.
Update from the Communities Team 23/07/09
Hi, this month Fiona has invited me to give you an update from the Communities Team.Our Team in Rural Development is small but
perfectly formed! There’s me - Lesley Campbell, the Team Manager, four part time
Community Development Officers, two
Sustainable Development Officers (although these posts are shared by three people),
and our invaluable Support Officer.
Through our Community Futures programme our current priorities are supporting the twenty
Community Development trusts around the Park to take forward their priorities
in their Community Action Plans. These
range from developing a community Play
Park in Luss to getting
interpretation boards in St Fillans.
