Practical Volunteering Day - Bracken Bashing!

Practical Volunteering Day - Bracken Bashing

Join the Countryside Ranger Service for this hands-on conservation event on Elrick Hill. This important habitat is home to a diverse array of wildlife and your help is needed to protect and enhance the hill's ecosystems. Our activities will focus on:

• Bracken control: bash the encroaching fern to stunt its growth and promote the spread of native ground flora on the hill.
• Heathland Expansion: Assist in vital efforts to restore and extend the site's heathland, promoting biodiversity and supporting lowland heath habitats.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about our ecosystems, meet like-minded people and make a tangible impact on preserving Elrick Hill's natural beauty.

Additional Information:

All tools and equipment will be provided, along with guidance from the team. No prior experience is necessary - just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to make a difference!

What to Bring:

• Suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear
• Thick gardening gloves (if you have them, if not gloves will be provided)
• A packed lunch and water bottle

Where to Meet:

Address: Brimmond Hill North Carpark, Craibstone, Aberdeen, AB21 9SX.
