Trail Planning in Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Scotland

 

A team of students journeyed to Scotland with Dr. Glyn Bissix and Marion McCahon to explore the differences in context and managment practices between Scottish and North American National Parks. As a part of this work the team helped to do GIS mapping of specific trails, provided some earth education programming and considered best practices for trail managment in this context. The Scottish landscape was spectacular and along the way were visits to Glasgow and Edinburg plus a meeting with the Community Development program faculty and students at the University of Glasgow.
