Angus Ranger Events

The Angus countryside with its variety of landscapes, including mountains, lochs, woodlands and seashore, provides opportunities for visitors of all ages to enjoy the outdoors.

The Angus Ranger Events programme takes place around the main Rangers Centres in Monikie Country Park, Crombie Country Park, Forfar Loch Country Park, Montrose Basin Wildlife Centre, and Glen Doll in the Angus Glens.

Environmental activities are a feature of the programme and range from guided walks and self-led trails to the more active pursuits of walking, orienteering and watersports. Construction of bird boxes and woodland management for nature conservation are also a feature.

Other activities include crafts, slide shows and displays.
