Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum (LOAF)

Category: Conservation Areas

Delivered by: Cairngorms National Park Authority

After extensive public consultation in 2004 the Cairngorms National Park Authority set up a single Forum for the Park comprising 21 individuals representing land managers, community interests, recreational users and public agencies. The Forum is called the ‘Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum’. The purpose of the Forum is to advise the Authority, and others consulting the Forum, on matters to do with outdoor access rights; rights of way and the Core Paths Plan. It can also offer to give advice towards the resolution of disputes over outdoor access.
