The National Park calls for Volunteers
The Dartmoor Access Forum is looking for volunteers to help advise the Dartmoor National Park Authority and other organisations on ways to improve access and recreation for all in Dartmoor National Park.
The forum is an independent advisory body of volunteers who want to make a difference for Dartmoor. The Forum aims to make Dartmoor more accessible and enjoyable for open air recreation, in ways which address environmental, social and economic interests.
The forum meets in public four times a year. Meetings are normally held at the National Park Headquarters at Bovey Tracey on the first Tuesday of March, June, September and December.
Members are appointed for a period of three years. One third of the places on the Forum are renewed each year. The Forum is keen to hear from people with experience in a range of areas including leisure, tourism and recreational activities, farming, land management or traditional countryside pursuits, nature conservation, archaeology, education or local business. The Forum would also welcome applications from minority groups, young people and people with disabilities who are happy to add their voice and experience to the work of the Forum.
Forum members act in a voluntary capacity, but the Authority can pay reasonable expenses.
