The Highland Council's Countryside Rangers constitute the largest local authority Countryside Ranger provision in Scotland with 25 full time and 3 seasonal Rangers spread throughout the Highland Council Area.
The role of the Countryside Rangers is to promote public enjoyment and appreciation of the countryside and to conserve wildlife and habitats.
This is achieved with the provision of a wide range of events and activities aimed at local communities and visitors alike.
The Countryside Rangers are also responsible for the promotion of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and are involved in the management of a large number of countryside sites throughout the Highland Council Area. The Highland Council also operates a Ranger Service in The Great Glen Way, Scotland's latest formal long distance walking route.
All of Highland Council's Countryside Ranger posts are supported with grants from Scottish Natural Heritage.
