Environmental education and outdoor learning opportunities
This pack promotes the countryside ranger service as a free resource for local schools. It is structured around CfE and provides lesson plans for countryside ranger led activities available within the country park or school grounds (if suitable). Suggested follow-up activities are also provided, as well as learning intentions and success criteria to ensure the desired outcomes are achieved. In addition the pack contains more detailed information for lesson plans to support self-led activities without a countryside ranger present, either within the country park, school grounds or a local green space.
Copies of this pack have been distributed free to all nursery, primary and secondary schools in East Renfrewshire, together with those within the two adjoining Learning Communities in Glasgow City (Hillpark and St Paul’s). Additional copies of the pack, together with new lesson plans developed over time, can be downloaded from the country park website

The environmental education and outdoor learning opportunities offered through the country park will be promoted amongst local schools at the beginning of the academic year and following New Year via direct email. Opportunities will also be highlighted on the country park, East Renfrewshire and Glasgow City councils websites and through social media.
The countryside ranger service encompasses only two members of staff. During periods when staff resources are in high demand priority will be given to schools nearest to the country park, together with those which the countryside rangers have not worked with to date.
