They may not have paranormal powers but the extraordinary talents and enthusiasm of two volunteers working in the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park have earned them superhero status. Stuart Crawford and Roger Bond have been honored with the titles of ‘Superman’ and ‘Mr Happy’ in recognition of their tireless work within the Park.
The awards were part of seven days of activities to celebrate Volunteer week at the Park and those who regularly give up their free time to help with activities in the Park. I went along to visit the National Park’s Headquarters in Balloch to find out more.
