Join the Ranger Service and the Friends of Little Boghead group for some practical conservation tasks in the park. For this session we will be doing some tree after-care or 'beating-up' in forestry terms. This involves checking the condition on the saplings that have been planted by volunteers in autumn 2024, replacing any damaged tree tubes and stakes, and re-planting as necessary any saplings that have failed.
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 at the hard standing around the pump station off of Plessey Road. The nearest toilets will be at Bathgate Morrisons (3 min drive). Hope to see you there if you can make it!
