Locally based charity launches wild land petitions
Pitlochry based charity, the John Muir Trust, has launched two petitions to urge the Government to give greater protection the country's last remaining wild land. The petition in Scotland calls for land to be protected by a new environmental designation, and the UK one calls for National Park areas to be expanded. Their aim is to use the petitions to send a signal to government that people care about wild land and want to see it given greater protection. The John Muir Trust is the leading wild land charity in the UK.
