We have received this notification from the Drumbrae Forest Community Ranger regarding upcoming events in May:
Thurs 7th May – 6.30-8pm Guided evening walk
Join Community Ranger, Julie Wilson from the University of Edinburgh for a free guided walk around Drumbrae, where the university is developing new woodland to boost biodiversity and capture carbon as part of the Forest and Peatland Programme. During this walk you will learn more about our woodland creation aims, local nature and ecology, archaeology and how to get involved through volunteering and citizen science. As part of the guided walk we will do some basic tree identification. We will be walking on a variety of terrain including surfaced paths, grassy paths and rough / uneven ground.

Sat 30th May – 7am-10am, Bird Survey
Join us for our first annual bird survey at Drumbrae. We will be splitting into small groups to listen and look for bird species in some different areas across Drumbrae. The survey will involve walking to a survey location and remaining at that location for a set period of time and recording what species you see and hear. This event is suitable for those with bird identification skills. You don’t need to be an expert to take part, but this event is not suitable for a complete beginner.
