OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE SOUTHERN UPLANDS PARTNERSHIP'S BOARD!

Are you passionate about sustainable development in the South of Scotland? Do you have experience in strategic roles? We are seeking to appoint new Directors to our Board, at an exciting time for SUP, as we celebrate our 25th anniversary year and refresh our vision and mission for the next 25.

We invite enquiries from interested people with relevant skills, experience and knowledge, who support our aims, and can offer up to 4 days per year of voluntary time. In order to balance the current Board, we are particularly keen to hear from people in Dumfries and Galloway, people with a finance background, women and younger people.

To note your interest, please send a short supporting statement outlining your background, skills and interest to recruitment@sup.org.uk by Monday 14th July. We’ll arrange for an informal chat in follow up, to answer any questions you may have.

SCAMP launch ahoy!
It was great to join our partners in Stranraer today for the launch of the Solway Coast and Marine Project (SCAMP). We had fabulous weather for our trip out to view the Loch Ryan seagrass bed, with partners from Dumfries & Galloway Council, Solway Firth Partnership, South of Scotland Enterprise, Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and many more. It was back to the Harbourmaster's office for a viewing of the inspiring launch film by Coulson & Tennant- coming soon on the SCAMP YouTube channel. We're looking forward to getting stuck into this fabulous project for Dumfries & Galloway over the coming years, with thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund for making the Dumfries & Galloway coastline its first award under its new Landscape Connections programme. SUP is delighted to be supporting SCAMP wildlife and habitat data collection and sharing, as well as development of the Coastal Path. Watch this space as the project develops! https://www.solwaycoastmarine.co.uk/
