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.
