Path Maintenance

Caring for the paths is one of the most visible and valuable things we do on Bennachie.

Whether it’s cutting back overgrown vegetation or clearing cross drains and culverts to stop water from eroding the trails, our work leaves a clear mark of stewardship on the hill.

With more than 30km of official paths to look after, we plan our maintenance efforts carefully, often over several years. 

Our Work Party activities are guided by the Hill Management Plan, the Colony Management Plan and tracked through our Work Party Activity Tracker.

Here is a useful guide to path maintenance.
