Minutes:

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Community Planning Group were provided with an update by Oly Hemmings and Pete Creech of the Heart of Argyll Wildlife Organisation. Pete Creech provided an outline of the role of Heart of Argyll Wildlife Organisation and the requirement for the service in Argyll and Bute.

 

Mr Creech provided information in relation to the formal and informal education programmes provided by Heart of Argyll Wildlife Organisation which had benefitted 10 schools in the past year as well as the local Scout group and Kilmartin Museum.

 

Mr Creech gave details of events held during school holidays, recent collaboration with media and research projects and the tourist information service that the organisation has provided following the closure of local Tourist Information offices. 

 

Mr Creech suggested that following the presentation from Anthony Standing of Skills Development Scotland at the meeting it may be beneficial for the group to liaise with Mr Standing regarding potential Environmental and Tourism apprenticeships in the area. The Community Planning Officer agreed to provide Mr Creech and Ms Hemmings with the contact details for Anthony Standing and the local Skills Development Scotland representative.
