Moray’s Dorenell Ranger Service announces its 2025 events programme

Dorenell Ranger Service is launching its 2025 events programme, offering a variety of engaging activities for people of all ages to explore the natural and cultural heritage of Moray.

The Ranger Service, based at Dorenell Visitor Centre in the Cabrach, Moray, is run by EDF Renewables UK, one of Scotland’s leading developers of renewable energy. Last year, the service welcomed over 500 participants to its events, and this year’s schedule promises even more opportunities to connect with nature.

The 2025 programme features a mix of returning favourites and exciting new additions, including guided walks, family-friendly activities, and cycling tours. Highlights include a wading bird walk, bumblebee talk, a ranger-led walk between the iconic whisky towns of Aberlour and Dufftown, a family cycle to Elf House Cave, a guided Cycle to Steplar and Glenfiddich Trailhead, as well as a stargazing and nocturnal animals walk with the Cabrach Trust.

Stephen Reeves, Senior Ranger at Dorenell Visitor Centre, said: “We are delighted to launch our 2025 events programme, which offers a fantastic range of activities for all ages. Whether you’re interested in wildlife, hiking, cycling, or simply exploring the beauty of Moray, there’s something for everyone. We look forward to welcoming people from across the region to our events."

The full events programme can be found at Dorenell Visitor Centre - EDF Renewables (edf-re.uk). Please note the events programme is subject to change.
