The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) have organised a family fun run through Blair Drummond Safari Park on the 17th of June.
The run will start and finish at Briarlands Farm. The 5km course is a unique, traffic-free loop around the roads and tracks of Blair Drummond Safari Park.
The fun run has been planned by RHET’s new Project Coordinator for the Forth Valley area, Katie Brisbane, with the aim of helping to raise funds for the charity to carry out its work in the region.
Having grown up on a farm, Katie has extensive farming and agricultural knowledge, and this is something that she is keen to pass on to future generations.
When asked about her new role, Katie said: “I am very excited to join RHET and to be a part of an organisation that has a strong passion and determination, to provide an education on one of the most important industries of our world. The work that RHET does is critical in making sure that our future generations are aware of the importance of agriculture in society, and I am delighted to be part of that.”
RHET is a charity that educates young people about food, farming and the countryside. They operate throughout Scotland, with the main focus of taking school children on fully risk-assessed farm visits, delivering classroom talks and organising food and farming events.
They also provide teaching resources and teacher training. All of their services are provided free of charge.
