The National Trust for Scotland is on the lookout for volunteers to help its Tayside conservation group this summer.

Members of the Tayside branch of the trust are working on a number of conservation projects throughout the summer season, including their North Perthshire Properties project.

The North Perthshire Properties project is looking for volunteers to help assist rangers with habitat management and footpath maintenance, with the opportunity to participate in their charcoal-making projects. The work for volunteers on this project is expected to be of a demanding level.

The first of the North Perthshire volunteering days is Saturday, July 8, with additional sessions later in the summer on Saturday, August 5 and Saturday, August 19. Those wishing to sign up must register with the National Trust for Scotland.
