Railway Wood Community Planting Day

Background

Drop-in anytime between 10am-2pm at Railway Wood in Livingston to help us replant the area with a variety of native broadleaf trees following recent felling works.

Meeting place

As the name suggests, Railway Wood is right next to Uphall Train Station (EH54 5QD) in Livingston, nestled between the train line and M8 motorway.

Please meet at the site entrance, marked by a vehicle barrier just off the B8046 heading North before it passes under the M8. You will be welcomed there by staff in high-vis vests. The what 3 words location is ///closed.carry.blackmail. There is parking available directly across the road from the site entrance at Uphall Station on the North side station car park (Eastbound platform).

Drop-in anytime between 10am-2pm.

Access

Please note the site has recently experienced extensive felling works so the ground will be muddy and uneven with various debris to look out for. We therefore advise wearing sturdy footwear (wellies or walking boots) and waterproofs.

Facilities

There are limited facilities and no toilets on site. The nearest toilets are located at Dobbies Garden Centre (EH52 6PA), roughly 1.3 miles way (4 min drive, 25 min walk).

Extra things to know

Under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for planting outdoors. Good waterproofs, walking boots and warm layers are advised.
