Forum Meetings

The Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum meets four times a year at different locations throughout the National Park.  All Forum meetings are open to the public; see the Park Authority meetings calendar for details.

Agendas, minutes and papers for the meetings can be found here.

In addition the Forum holds an annual open event on the subject of outdoor access. This annual event provides the Forum with the opportunity to engage a wider audience in discussion and debate of outdoor access issues. The next annual event will be held on Saturday 27th September 2008 in Braemar at the Village Hall. Further information will be available over the summer.
