National Park’s protection racket is a cause for concern - [Sunday Herald] The new Cairngorms National Park will be officially opened tomorrow and the effects of global warming is only one of the problems it faces. The government agency that preceded the national park authority, the Cairngorms Partnership, singularly failed to live up to its promises of removing all these man-made eyesores. Wildlife and landscape conservation must be the prime objectives of a national park but sadly the park board appears to be weighted heavily in favour of those with interests in commercial development. www.sundayherald.com /36448   (1123 words)

"On Whose Authority? (PART 1 of 3)" -Mtn-Forum On-Line Library Document This point is particularly applicable to the case of the Cairngorms National Park, as the balance between nature conservation and the economic and social well-being of the communities is balanced by the Ministers. The functions exercisable by a planning authority under Part II (but only in respect of functions in relation to local plans) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (a) shall, in relation to the area of the National Park, transfer to and be exercisable by the Authority and not by any local authority. However, a majority from outside the park made calls for the National Park Authority to safeguard access for recreation, perhaps reflecting the nature of the way in which the mountains are used for recreational purposes. www.mtnforum.org /resources/library/nevig03a.htm   (9215 words)

The Dartmoor Commons Act was passed at the second attempt in 1985, the outcome of a unique partnership of National Park and Commoners with far reaching consequences for better management of grazing and access on the commons.

Environmental History: Contested Mountains: Nature, Development and Environment in the Cairngorms Region of Scotland, 1880-1980 Although the idea of a national park in the Cairngorms is still actively under discussion, it is unlikely that an extensive tract of land, owned and administered by a single government agency, ever will be realized in the Cairngorms. Nature enthusiasts and the Nature Conservancy, the government agency responsible for nature conservation, acquired the 64,ooo acre Cairngorms National Nature Reserve at cut-rate prices.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh The powers for forestry for a National Park in the Cairngorms, detailed in para 6-12, should match those of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, in that the future planning of forests in the area should be a co-operative venture between the Park and Forest Enterprise, with the latter keeping responsibility for its management.
