SPRING INTO NATURE GUIDED WALK
Our popular gentle stroll around the woods will be held on Sunday April 12th. Time: 1pm - 3pm. No booking necessary - just turn up on the day,
meeting at the Friends of Fullarton notice board opposite the car park.
Hosted by Scottish Wildlife Trust, the walk will highlight the flora & fauna of the site as the Woods spring back to life.
RECYCLING SATURDAY TROON
We at Friends of Fullarton are very grateful to the Recycling Saturday group, who collect items that would otherwise go to landfill and raise money for various charities and community groups. Our funds have recently benefitted from the sale of used tech items, such as mobile phones and tablets. This money will be used for the much-needed replacement of some of our old tools.
The group produce a monthly list of the items they are collecting. Their collection point is at Marr College car park, 10:30am - 11 on the 3rd Saturday of the month. See their Facebook page for more details, or Troon Going Out magazine.
CITIZEN SCIENTISTS WANTED!
We recently welcomed Alex from TCV Scotland, who led a very informative workshop on identifying wildlife and using apps to record sightings. It is increasingly important to know the number and location of species of flora & fauna in light of climate change and loss of habitat. We would encourage anyone interested in helping to record wildlife in Fullarton Woods to find out more and consider submitting records which, when confirmed, will form part of the National Biodiversity Index.
