OATS volunteering season 2025 kicked off recently at @glenlivetestate with some Rhodie Bashing! Rhododendrons are a non-native, highly invasive species. Well done to the #volunteers and a big thanks to Rob, Crown Estate Scot Maintenance Ranger.

A sunny day at #CreagChoinnich in #Braemar. Our #volunteers cleared all the drainage features in no time. They also tackled the heather on sections where it had grown over the existing path. Thanks to the volunteer team for such a great effort. Happy Days!

We've just had two busy days of path maintenance #volunteering on the Balmoral Castle Estate. 171 drainage features cleared, 1 drainage ditch created, 2 water bars repaired. 1 wobbly stone fixed & loads of heather removed from the paths. Many thanks to a fantastic team.

Thanks to Dan Bailey UKHillwalking for a fantastic feature highlighting the skills and hard graft required to build a sustainable mountain path. If you love being in the mountains and use mountain paths, please read this: ukhillwalking.com/articles/featu… #saveourmountainpaths

On 29-4-25 OATS' volunteers teamed up with Glenlivet Estate Rangers, Phoenix Futures group and Cairngorms National Park Volunteer Rangers to improve a section of the Tomintoul Spur route. New drainage was installed, and the path got a brand-new surface. Well done all!

OATS' path volunteers had amazing sunny weather on the Bynack More on 05-05-25. The group, a mix of returning and new volunteers, were joined by a Cairngorms National Park Volunteer Ranger. 120 drainage features were cleared / 3 cross-drains were fixed. Fantastic work by all!

OATS #volunteers ventured North West for 2 days graft on the #StacPollaidh path. Thanks to Hostelling Scotland for the excellent accommodation in the #Ullapool #YouthHostel. The team created drainage ditches, cleared & repaired broken cross drains. Thanks to the fantastic team.

Another great day with our volunteers at #CarnLiath, #Beinna'Ghlo. Loads of loose material to shift on a steep hillside 💪🏼 Well done, guys! The stone pitching is in top condition, and looking fab, especially after the final touch with a hand brush😎 🧹👌🏼 #pathmaintenance

#GlenClova was the location for our 2 Path Maintenance #Volunteering days this week. A group of six volunteers cleaned out and fixed 155 drainage features on the Corrie Fee & Kilbo paths. They cleared sections of stone pitching covered by vegetation & loose material. Thanks!

We had our first 'Bike & Hike' Volunteer day this week. #slugain is a popular way to approach the Ben Avon summit... but a very long walk in. Using mountain bikes is the perfect way to get closer to the footpath. David and Mark, 2 keen cyclists jumped at the opportunity!

As we mark 2 years of our It's Up To Us campaign with Mountaineering Scotland to repair decades of path erosion on An Teallach, we're also celebrating our donors for raising £250,000 for this project! Find out more here: outdooraccesstrustforscotland.org.uk/campaign-to-sa…
