ACT: Argyll & the Isles Coast and Countryside Trust

We want everyone in Argyll and the Isles to experience and appreciate our spectacular coast and countryside. We believe that residents, businesses, and visitors should all be able to enjoy and benefit from this wonderful region, so we work hard to maintain, enhance, and promote our great outdoors.

Our mission is to sustainably maintain, enhance and promote the coast and countryside of Argyll and the Isles. Why? Because it is a spectacular part of the world that everyone should be able to enjoy now and forever.

We work in partnership with communities, public agencies, and private organisations to design and implement projects that make a difference to people and landscapes. We cover a diverse and exciting range of topics, including conservation, tourism, and health and wellbeing, that all contribute to achieving our vision of a coastal and countryside environment that is valued and enjoyed by everyone, now and forevermore.

Our objectives are:

• To care for and enhance our environment – working strategically and locally.
• To encourage people to enjoy and benefit from our environment.
• To encourage investment that will improve our environment.
• To share ideas and work in partnership with groups and individuals with an interest in our environment.
• To increase opportunities for local people such as employment, training, and volunteering.
