National Park Plan
The National Park Plan brings together all those involved in managing the Park to set out a long-term vision, a framework for management and priorities for action. It sets out how all sectors in the Park can work together to collectively achieve the four aims of the Park.
Following a two year process to prepare the Plan, including a public consultation in 2006, the Plan was approved by the Scottish Executive on 15 March 2007.
The Plan identifies seven Priorities for Action, to be delivered over a five year period, from 2007-2012. Alongside the Priorities for Action there is a 25 year vision for the Park, which provides a clear strategy for the long-term future of the Park, its communities and the natural and cultural heritage.
The approved National Park Plan, along with the accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment, State of the Park Report and Public Consultation Report, are available to download below.
