The Scottish Borders Outdoor Access Forum Open Meeting
Do you walk, cycle, horse-ride, canoe or own/manage land? If the answer is yes to any of these, join this meeting at
Old Gala House, Scott Crescent, Galashiels TD1 3JS (6.30-8.30pm).
In the Scottish Borders we are lucky enough to have a huge, accessible outdoor access network. We have over 1,000km of promoted paths, such as the Southern Upland Way, St Cuthbert’s Way and many shorter, town-based path networks. Integrated with this path network and accessible are over 1800km of public rights of way, various countryside & heritage sites, watercourses and, of course, the wide-open countryside.
Managing public access in the Scottish Borders is important as it: supports the needs of communities; provides practical access to towns, villages and other areas; assists our valuable tourism and recreational industries; helps stimulate our local economy; assists with environmental and land management issues; and provides opportunities for sustainable transport. The Scottish Borders Outdoor Access Forum is an important guiding influence that helps Scottish Borders Council to manage public outdoor access under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003.
If you would like to learn more about accessing the outdoors or managing land responsibly, come along.
Light refreshments will be available.
