Kilbride Update Update!

The work to the overhead powerlines at Kilbride and Innellan has been postponed and at present we don't have a new start date, so please continue to enjoy the forest as usual and watch this space for further updates.

Also, those of you using Kilbride Car Park may have noticed some graphs and posters appearing recently.  These are the work of pupils from Kirn Primary School who have been carrying out surveys of the levels of and distribution of Dog Poo in the area as part of their John Muir Award.  Their results make for interesting and slightly disappointing reading.  We would ask all dog owners to clear up after their dogs, with the best option being bagging it up and taking it with you to an appropriate bin rather than leaving it lying about for someone else to encounter.

See you around the forest soon.

Disaster!!

Dear Frogwatchers,

I'm sorry to have to report that the recent spell of hot weather has spelled the end of our breeding area, it's completely dried up and all our youngsters have gone - hopefully some will have made it into other pools or damp ground nearby.

On a happier note, I noticed yesterday that we do still have a thriving small population of palmate newts in a different pool.

Off to take a group of Dunoon Primary School pupils on an exploration of the forest, might see you there!!
