B11. Volunteering and outdoor learning
Volunteering delivers tangible benefits to the management of the National Park, as well as to the physical and
mental wellbeing of those participating in volunteering. It also provides excellent training opportunities and
experience for future employment. We want to see an expansion of the opportunities available for volunteering
in the National Park, ensuring they are open to people from all backgrounds.
Outdoor learning continues to be an important component in creating a lasting connection between people
and nature in the National Park whatever their age, background or circumstances. We will work with other
national parks, partners and communities to provide meaningful opportunities for people to experience
and care for nature in the Cairngorms, and support communities in maintaining and improving their
local environment.
OBJECTIVE
Increase the number of volunteer days spent caring for the National
Park, taking an inclusive approach to volunteering recruitment.
