During the month of August the Ranger Service will be hosting biodiversity themed sessions as part of our conservation efforts for Biodiversity Month.
For this session will be creating some new hibernaculum to support the amphibian populations found within the Park. Hibernaculum are underground chambers that amphibians and reptiles use throughout the winter to protect themselves from the cold. We will make these by digging out spaces into the ground and filling them with materials to create small chambers for animals to access.
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 2 hours, and the meeting point will be in the car park at the end of Sylvan Way, Bathgate. The nearest toilets will be at Bathgate Morrisons (3 min drive from Sylvan Way). Hope to see you there if you can make it!
