A brief guide to Stirling Council Ranger Events for 2013
There are some details missing but this will give you an idea of what we have planned for early next year. Check out events on the Stirling Council website for more details.
On the second Wednesday each month we hold Action Days - this is your chance to get out and get hands on to help give something back to your countryside sites.
Hedge Laying Course
We are also hoping to provide a hedge laying course at Plean Country Park over the next few months, so if you would be interested in taking part in learning the skills involved with that traditional craft, contact Jennifer at This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you can't wait there are some courses coming up in Fife and Brechin this month see details and booking form here.
Butterfly Survey
Butterfly transect survey training was organised and delivered to six volunteers on 24th March, which ensures that the butterfly data will be collected for the third year in a row.
The data is collected by volunteers for 26 weeks each year starting from the 1st April. They each pick a number of weeks throughout the season when, on a suitable day, preferably when the sun is shining, they walk a fixed route through the park. The route is chosen to cover different types of habitat.
