About this event

  • 8 hours

Whim Wood is part of Whim Bog SSSI and is situated just south of Leadburn. The bog itself is a lowland raised bog habitat important for several species of sphagnum moss as well as bog asphodel and the carnivorous round-leaved sundew.

On this visit we will be clearing invasive rhododendron from the mixed woodland on the SSSI.

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.

You can check the website for further information.

LCV Bookings

Volunteering on day-tasks with LCV is free and open to all. Booking reserves you a seat on our minibus leaving from St Andrews Square in Edinburgh. Just choose a task, book yourself onto it and come along.

LCV tasks involve a variety of outdoor activities in all weathers, some of which may be less suitable if you have health or mobility issues: please speak to us directly if you need advice. If you are under 18 please contact us to discuss arrangements for volunteering with us, or whether other groups might be more appropriate. Please note we that do not take group bookings. If you've volunteered with us before you may book several tasks if you wish to do so.
