Guided Walks and Events
Join the Countryside Rangers on an guided walk or an event this year!
The Countryside Ranger Service organise and lead a number of events across the whole of Perth and Kinross each year. These events are open to everyone and most are free to take part in - where there is a cost, it is kept to the minimum. We publish a leaflet with details of these events, which also has details of lots of other events, from Cycling Summer to whats going on in our Parks and Greenspaces.
