Councillor Eric Gotts, Chair of Mugdock Country Park Joint Management Committee, recently launched the scheme and urged people to find out more.
"We're looking forward to another successful year at Mugdock Country Park," he said. "There are exciting times ahead and the support of our many visitors remains essential.

Mugdock Country Park is one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions - attracting more than 600,000 visitors every year. The park’s boundary spans both Stirling and East Dunbartonshire, and enjoys spectacular views of the Campsie Fells.
The Ranger Service is based at Mugdock Country Park. Rangers lead outdoor learning and environmental activities in the park’s 260 hectares and also throughout East Dunbartonshire.
Mugdock is steeped in history, with buildings dating back to the late-1300s. The park’s visitor centre nestles within the area’s Victorian estate and offers visitors a great opportunity to discover more about the countryside and built heritage.
