The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether the Forestry Commission is undertaking any measures to retain the integrity, brand identity and tourism potential of the Queen Eli'abeth Forest Park given the creation of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
The answer
The Forestry Commission is indeed taking such measures. It has agreed with the Interim National Park Authority that the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park will retain its own unique identity within the National Park. The commission is also taking this opportunity to review the future branding and promotion of the Forest Park and it is considering introducing an updated logo. Any new logo will, however, retain the main traditional features, including Ben Lomond, forests, lochs and deer. Furthermore, the commission is enhancing the tourism potential of the Forest Park by creating new recreational facilities and improving existing ones. This work is being financed in part by a substantial EU grant.
