Join us for a spring BioBlitz and become an ecologist for the day!

With help from our experts, you'll discover the range of creatures that live at Glen Finglas, submitting your findings to the iNaturalist app to help us monitor how well our woodlands are supporting wildlife.

From moth trapping to pond dipping, there will be something for all ages, as well as a chance to explore the trails and wider wildlife of Glen Finglas. Plus, you can join our bird box walk to see woodland bird nests up close!

Pop in anytime between 8am and 1pm to say hello, do some crafts or grab a cuppa. All activities are free and open to all. The only activity with limited spaces is the bird box session at midday which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is a free event but booking in advance via Eventbrite is essential.

Don't forget

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for being indoors and outdoors.

There are toilets in the Glen Finglas visitor centre.

Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
