About this event

Charity & Causes • Environment

Note: we will be leaving St Andrew's square at 9 AM for this slightly more distant task.

Situated just outside the village of Gordon in the Scottish Borders, the community woodland is a mixed broadleaved wood covering 200 acres. There are a variety of natural attractions including a pond, river and old burial mounds and the woodland is home to badgers, buzzards, and brown trout and roach in the waterways.

On this our first visit here, we will be removing rushes etc that are starting to overrun the large pond.

We encourage volunteers to use our minibus for transport. If you live near this task and wish to make your own way you must ring Debbie on 01313370223 to book a space and for joining instructions.

Please bring your lunch and wear appropriate footwear (boots or wellingtons) and waterproof outdoor clothing.

NEW VOLUNTEERS Please only book one task initially. If you do not attend without letting us know, we may cancel any additional task bookings. If you are under 18 you will need to be accompanied by a guardian. Please contact us to discuss arrangements for volunteering with us, or whether other organisations might be more appropriate.
