Flick It!!

Those of you who have been out and about will have noticed the appearance of some new blue signs bearing the slogan "Flick it with a stick". These are in response to an increase in the amount of dog mess being left behind on tracks and in bags tied to trees, gates, fences and waymarkers in the forest. These signs advocate that on the trails - well away from car parks and buildings, that if people are not going to pick up their dog's mess and TAKE IT AWAY then they should flick the mess off the trail with a stick. Around car parks etc we'd still appreciate it if people took their dog's mess away with them.

Hopefully this will increase everyone's enjoyment of the trails.

See you (with flicking stick in hand) around the forest

Snowvember!

As the park takes on its winter coat a bit early this year, we would advise anyone enjoying the forest to take extra care if using our trails and car parks, particularly now the snow has frozen, melted a bit and frozen again.

The snow does of course provide the opportunity to see tracks left by animals which would otherwise go unnoticed, as well as giving the whole forest a magical winter wonderland feel.


Hope to see you (well wrapped up) around the forest! Or alternatively at Dunoon Stadium Car Park 11th &12th, 10-4, where we will be selling Real Christmas Trees along with CLANN and other local interest groups. Free tea/coffee & mince pies!
