Countryside volunteers

We all have something we love doing. Some people like walking, others love writing and some even like reading! But did you ever think about using your passion to get involved in volunteering and bring something really amazing to your community? 

We have lots of ways for you to get involved in countryside activities and really make a difference to your local environment. 

Volunteering with the Ranger Service

The Stirling Rangers offer a wide variety of volunteering opportunities, from tree removal to pond creation. Our programme of action days and public events runs throughout the year and on sites throughout the Stirling Council area (outwith the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park).

Adopt a Path scheme

We also run an Adopt a Path scheme for those who prefer a walk. Volunteer Path Inspectors adopt a path of their choice, inspect it every three months and let us know about any problems they find so we can keep your local paths open. Please contact us by email if you would like more information about this scheme.

Local Access Forum

The Stirling Area Local Access Forum (SALAF) was formed under the provisions of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. It is a group of people who meet regularly to discuss ways of improving and managing public access into the countryside.Anybody can be a Forum member.  You don’t need to be a legal genius or even be a member of an organisation.  What you do need is a desire to become involved with access to the countryside and be prepared to work with others to achieve a common purpose. 

VIT C newsletter

We also produce our VIT C newsletter twice year. The newsletter aims to keep our volunteers and other interested people up to date with news about access and countryside matters in the Stirling Council area (outside the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park).
