Ranger service

What is the the Countryside Ranger Service? Logo of the Perth and Kinross Ranger Service. The logo is used across Scotland and depicts three symbolistic trees or mountains with a group of people standing in front.

The Countryside Ranger Service is made up of four area Countryside Rangers, one Greenspace Ranger and one Senior Ranger. The Countryside Rangers are based at Blairgowrie, Aberfeldy, Crieff and Perth and cover the East Perthshire, Highland Perthshire, Strathearn, Crieff and Comrie, and the Perth, Carse and Kinross-shire areas respectively.

The Greenspace Ranger is a new post, covering the Perth City area, and aims to provide and promote opportunities for the people of Perth to get out and about in their local green spaces.  The Senior Countryside Ranger manages the Ranger team.

What do the Countryside Rangers do?

Countryside Rangers look after paths and sites, such as Lady Mary's Walk and Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, and other areas which the Council does not own, such as paths that make up one of the many path networks. Countryside Rangers visit schools to talk to school groups, we have groups out in the countryside, we arrange walks, talks and events and visit various highland games and shows to promote the Countryside of Perth and Kinross.
