We have been contracted by Perth and Kinross Council (in partnership with sportscotland and Scottish Natural Heritage) to investigate the barriers to participation in 'active outdoor recreation' within Perth and Kinross.

We are looking at the issues that face people (not age or background specific) who want to participate in these activities and how they might be addressed. We are also looking for information about any initiatives or long term programmes that are aimed at broadening participation, and how well they are working.

The identified activities for this work are:

• mountaineering / winter walking
• rock climbing
• hill walking (including health walks groups)
• hill running / orienteering
• kayaking / canoeing
• off road cycling – downhill & cross country mountain biking.

If you live in the Perth and Kinross Council area and would like to help with this research, please complete our online survey.
