CairngornLand Management Training Project now live and open for applications
The Cairngorms National Park Authority have announced that as part of our support for Land Managers in the National Park, they can now offer a grant subsidy of 30% of training costs under this year’s Land Management Training Project.
The current funding is for short courses in key practical rural skills which will help raise standards in land management activities, promote best practice and make local rural businesses more versatile and successful. Applications are welcomed for training for employees or owners of estates, agricultural and other land management businesses, and 16-25 year olds aspiring to work in these sectors. Eligible training includes topics such as off road vehicle driving, chainsaw operation, deer stalking, habitat monitoring,  pesticide use and first aid.
Alongside the support for short, skills-based training, they will also be running a series of free courses and events open to everyone on a range of topics of broad interest to land managers.
Application packs are available to download from  http://cairngorms.co.uk/learn/training/rural-skills-training/ or by emailing catriona.campbell@cairngorms.co.uk.
