The Scottish Government is looking to appoint five new members to the boards of the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA).

Anyone taking on the job would have a key role in safeguarding the natural environment and the local communities for future generations.

CNPA board members agree the long term objectives for the national park, set out priorities and board members also represent the authority by acting as ambassadors.

The areas it overseas includes conservation, visitor experience and rural development and members must attend full board and committee meetings concerning matters such as planning and finance.

Those putting interested would need to be prepared to commit to two to three days a month over a four year period.

The Cairngorms National Park is the UK’s largest Park at over 1,740 square miles km and contains Britain’s highest and most massive mountain range.

It was established in 2003 and as well as being home to some of the country’s rarest species as well as 18,000 people.

CNPA Convener Peter Argyle said: “Being a board member of a National Park Authority is equally challenging and rewarding.

“There is a balance to be made between the aims of the Park – preserving the environment, ensuring that endangered species have the best chance of survival, promoting sustainability, protecting our cultural heritage, encouraging more people to come to enjoy what the Park has to offer – while at the same time supporting the economic and social development of our various communities.”

Mr Argyle added: “Board members need to bring a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience to the role along with a great deal of enthusiasm for Scotland’s National Parks to ensure they are in good hands for the future.”
