“Going Green” – it’s in every newspaper and magazine you read and there’s someone talking about it every time you switch on the television. So how do your green credentials stack up?

The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) is working with local business associations to host a series of workshops aimed at helping tourism businesses in the Park to improve their environmental performance. These practical sessions will give tourism business operators more information on recycling, energy efficiency, and how to get green accreditation via the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

There are free events throughout the Park over the coming weeks:

• Monday 17 March: Nethy Bridge Community Centre from 2.30pm - 4.30pm & from 7.30pm - 9.30pm.
• Tuesday 18 March: Cairn Hotel, Carr-Bridge from 2.00pm – 4.30pm.
• Wednesday 19 March: Crown Estate Office, Tomintoul from 1.00pm – 4.00pm.
• Thursday 20 March: Victoria & Albert Halls, Ballater from 1.00pm – 4.00pm.
