Scrub clearance 24th June

Hello,

We have been really lucky with the weather the last few weeks and I’m looking forward to seeing what stage the wildflowers we planted last month are at- fingers crossed!

I am hoping that this lovely weather will remain for our habitat creation day at Fallin Bing next week on Monday 24th June! The habitat creation day runs from 10am-3pm and everyone is welcome to attend for as little or as long as they want. It will be a great chance to meet new people and learn about the history of coal mining at Fallin and also to learn about the Inner Forth Landscape Initiave from Kate Fuller who will be coming along to speak to the group.

We will be removing encroaching scrub, mostly Birch, from around the bing and making small habitat piles for mammals, amphibians and reptiles within the woodland. Volunteers from TCV will be coming along to lend a hand and will also be bringing equipment for us to use. I hope that no one is camera shy as I will be bringing along the cameras to film the work we will be doing! For more information about the day contact Suzanne Bairner at suzanne.bairner@buglife.org.uk and 01786 447504.
