St Kilda Website: 6th June 2008
|
| |
Many of you who are regular
viewers and contributors to the St Kilda website will remember the launch of the current
St Kilda World Heritage Site Management Plan back in 2003. Much has happened since then
and over the next 18 months, the National Trust for Scotland will be reviewing progress
of this plan and setting out management priorities for the coming 5 years. To achieve
this the Trust will be engaging with partners and stakeholders, including local
communities and anyone with an interest in these islands, on management priorities for
the coming years. We are at the start of this process but we will be providing
occasional updates of progress on this website and will be looking to run a public
consultation through this website at the end of this year and start of 2009. So please
check from time to time on our progress and take part in the consultation when it is
launched.
