Youth Committee

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Youth Committee is a group of dedicated young people aged between 11-25 years old who are passionate about the National Park and making a difference.

The committee was formed during the Year of Young People in 2018 #YOYP2018 to ensure that young people have a voice in the decision making of the National Park Authority, now and for the future.

Are you a young person aged 11-25 and passionate about making a difference in our National Park?  If so we would love to hear from you! This is a unique chance to become part of a diverse group of young people and make an impact!
