Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust is an innovative environmental charity promoting sustainable access to the Cairngorms area. The company has five main strands of activity:
· Community Path Networks - We upgrade paths and develop new paths in, around and between communities to facilitate more and higher quality access opportunities for locals and visitors alike.
· Upland Paths - We repair eroded paths in the mountains so that access can be sustained without damaging the landscape and environment.
· Walking To Health - We are developing a suite of structured health walks.
· Strategic Routes - We are working on delivery of strategic long distance routes.
· Promotion and Interpretation - We provide information about Outdoors Access through leaflets, interpretive boards and signposting.
Annual Public Meeting will take place in Lonach Hall, Strathdon
on Thursday 16th September at 7pm
