  • New committee required - or SWLG will wind up

    The Scottish Wild Land Group seeks new people to run the organisation. If no-one comes forward for the main key posts on the Steering Team, then SWLG shall be wound up.

    This is the chance for the organisation to become rejuvenated with new blood and enthusiasm.

    If the organisation is wound up, the assets will be distributed to like-minded charities
