Happy Christmas

A massive THANK You to all who turned out at the weekend to support CLANN and ourselves at the West Bay, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and went home with the right Christmas tree for you. It was a succeful event and CLANN will be receiving a cheque for their efforts early in the new year.

Thank You also to those who have reported fallen trees following the incredibly strong winds recently. We are currently working through our list to clear them as qucikly as possible. In the meantime please do exercise caution if visiting the woods over the festive season.

The harvesting works above Kilbride look likely to continue untiil March 2012 so please continue to observe all onsite signage and I'll also keep you updated on here.


Best Wishes to all over the holidays, and I hope to see you (Tinsel Optional) around the forest.

Frogwatch

No doubt about it now, signs of spring are all around, Crocus, Daffodil, Snowdrop, bluebell shoots and of course ....frogs by the hundred taking advantage of almost every drainage ditch and puddle. The puddle where this picture was taken had nothing in it last week, now there are over 100 frogs and is completely covered in frog spawn. I'll be keeping a close eye to see how this develops over the coming weeks so please join me on Frogwatch (or start your own at a puddle near you!!) .

Any plans for Sunday 28th March?

No, then why not join CLANN, St Mun's Primary School and the FC Rangers for a Sport Relief Event. Starting at the West Bay park there will be a 1 mile run along the promenade and back and a slightly longer 3 mile event for those who want to stretch their legs a bit further. Watch this space for times and details.

Hope to see you there, if not see you around the forest.
