Spring is Sprung

Well, that's winter finished with - allegedly. Must be true the daffodils, crocus, snowdrops and frogspawn are all out in abundance. Won't be long until the first Cuckoo is heard in the forest.

The team have been very busy over the past couple of months, clearing windblown trees and reparing storm damage across the Argyll Forest Park. The Canada Hill single track section of the Corlarach Loop has been redirected (follow the waymarkers) and is now open and waiting for its first walkers, cyclists or riders of the season. The Harvesting continues above Kilbride so please continue to observe onsite directions and safety notices.

There is scheduled to be some thinning and harvesting taking place around the Kilbride entrance to the forest and around The Tom above Innellan in the near future, no set dates as yet but I'll keep you updated.

Hope you're all set to get out and about and I'll see you around the forest.
