Duncan Mills was the first Chairman of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs Regional Park, who campaigned tirelessly for National Parks in Scotland.  Sadly, Duncan died before he saw Loch Lomond and the Trossachs become Scotland’s first National Park.  In recognition of his work an annual scholarship has been established by EUROPARC Atlantic Isles, in association with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority.  The scholarship will enable the recipient to undertake a study visit to one or more protected areas anywhere in world to gather experience that will be of benefit to themselves as well as contribute to the body of knowledge concerning protected areas.  The Award is worth £1000.

If you would like to apply for this funding we need:

• A nomination letter from a manager / senior officer, outlining your experience;
• An outline of the proposed study tour (maximum 1000 words).

Please send these to Dan Bloomfield, preferably electronically, by the 12th February 2008.
