About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join the Ranger Service and the Friends of Beecraigs & Witchcraig for some practical conservation tasks. Vegetation is begining to narrow some of the paths into the woodland at Witchcraig. Our task will be to cut and scrape back the vegetation to restore the path's to their original width. We will also have litter picking equipment available for those that would like to help keep the area nice and clean.

All tools and a full tool safety talk will be provided by the Ranger. If you have some, please bring along a pair of gloves with you, and wear appopriate clothing for the weather. Good sturdy footwear is also advised. Please bring along any snacks and drinks you require. No prior experience is necessary to take part in the sessions, new volunteers are always welcome!

The session will run for two hours starting at 10am, and the meeting place is at the Korean War Memorial car park, which is located on the road between Linlithgow and Bathgate.
