Proposed New National Park - Consultation Events
We are pleased to outline the consultation public events which have been confirmed so far. Any additional events will be added to this page, so keep an eye out for updates in the coming weeks and months.
The announced events will be facilitated by independent consultants, on behalf of NatureScot, and everyone will be supported to share their ideas and opinions in a welcoming environment. There will be sessions within each of these consultation events, asking for responses on different topics, as well as interactive boards and spaces, and opportunities to leave anonymous feedback.
