Success for East Lothian Path Wardens

The East Lothian Path Wardens were recently presented with the Community Group of the Year award at Path for All's annual awards.

This busy group have been maintaining their local path network for 6 years with an impressive 54 volunteers recording 2,161 hours of volunteering in 2016/17. They have become established as the people to go to with any path-related issues. This has made them a great asset to their local communities and the council.

Volunteers have undertaken several duties from practical management of paths, through to raising funds for project work, securing grant awards and successfully becoming a charitable group. 2017 saw the group start a series of free guided walks for the public with plans to develop a series of walk guides.
