About the Trust > Policy
The Trust produces policies and forward plans to guide the work of its staff and volunteers. Policy documents deal with specific subjects or issues - for example, Conservation Principles or Landscape - and the aim is to achieve a consistent approach to the subject across the spectrum of the Trust's work delivering its statutory purposes of conservation, access, enjoyment and education.
Policy Work
The Trust's policy work falls into two broad categories:
- developing policies to guide the Trust's work
- advocacy work to ensure that the interests and views of the Trust are taken into account in the national policy debate on relevant issues including preparing responses to consultations and engaging with the Scottish Parliament
In addition from time to time the policy team will lead the Trust's response to planning proposals of national importance, for example the Beauly - Denny Power Line.
