SCRA Annual Training Event (in partnership with SNH) and AGM - New dates confirmed!
We unfortunately had to postpone the SCRA Annual Training Event and AGM earlier in the year. However, we are delighted to confirm the new dates for the event!
The Annual Training Event and AGM will take place on THURSDAY 22nd JULY 2010 at the Battleby Conference Centre at Scottish Natural Heritage near Perth. SCRA would like to extend their thanks to SNH for not only hosting the event, but also for helping to arrange and organise the event and speakers.
The event is FREE to attend for SCRA members, and £30 for non-members and focuses on the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and managing access on the ground and in the flesh!
The Scottish Outdoor Access Code and Land Reform Legislation has been in place now for several years. Over that time additional guidance and clarification has been offered on the practicalities of the Code and how land managers, Rangers and users can best use the Code to help manage and take access responsibly. As well as this, countryside practitioners have developed an wealth of experience and best practice in promoting and managing these responsibilities.
During the day, we will investigate some of these best practice examples, undertake practical case studies in how we can better manage access situations as well as examine some of the aspects of access and associated problems that are not included within the Code.
Learning Outcomes:
• Gain greater awareness of access issues
• Case studies: mountain biking, horse riding, dogs, camping and disabled access
• Share best practice in the resolution of access issues on the ground
• Develop, maintain and enhance understanding of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code
• Hear how promoting the Code fits into SNH’s wider policy and communication activities
• Participate in practical example of managing access issues
The event will also host the SCRA AGM during lunch time of the course.
