Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland

The Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland is a ground-breaking environmental charity promoting sustainable public access.

We develop, build and repair paths, mountain habitats and trailhead facilities that satisfy the needs of the public, landowners and communities, while conserving and protecting the country’s natural heritage.

Our Objectives

Build access infrastructure sustainably, working  in partnership with others and training the conservation workforce and volunteers of the future.

Create paths and access infrastructure in popular, remote, and fragile places

Collaborate with others to make access infrastructure and fix damaged landscapes

Train people in the skills needed for outdoor access and conservation work

Our Vision

Making Scotland’s outdoor access network fit for the future, bringing people together to learn how to make places that matter better for all.
