Conservation Volunteers - Blackmoss

Join the Ranger Service to take part in some practical conservation tasks throughout the county. For this session we will be based at Black Moss, in the south-west of Armadale. For this session we will be planting a new hedgerow, to create a natural barrier and close off an area that was being used my forestry machinery to undertake the felling works in the park last year. We will be planting a variety of native species such as hawthorn, green beech, and blackthorn, which will create a protectiv ebarrier as well as provide new habitat and food source for birds and small mammals.

All tools and a full tool safety talk will be provided by the Ranger. Please wear appopriate clothing (waterproof and windproof clothing, wellies or sturdy waterproof boots), and bring along a drink and maybe a small snack to keep you going.

This session will run for two hours from 10:00am, and the meeting place is at the north west entrance to Blackmoss Nature Park, What3Wors location: expectant.dice.foresight. (EH48 3HG).
