Just a reminder that if you`re exploring the hills and countryside this weekend please keep your dog under close control as it`s lambing season. If you see our signs asking you to keep your dog on a lead, please do abide by this. Poorly controlled dogs are a real problem for farmers, land owners and land managers. Access to their land is permitted as long as we all behave responsibly and abide by the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Thank you for your understanding.
There`s a really useful leaflet here: https://www.outdooraccess-scotland.scot/sites/default/files/2023-02/Dog%20Owners%20Leaflet%202023.pdf

It was nesting time for our volunteers from bff_naturepioneers_balbirnie. In the latest Winter Wellness session with our education officer, Rich, the group spent time putting out bird boxes at various locations in Balbirnie Park. The team worked collectively to figure out the correct aspect for the bird boxes, using a compass. Then the boxes were fixed in place and logged using a what3words reference, so they can be easily found again. Fingers crossed the new homes have inhabitants soon!

Can you help us to plant trees in Kirkcaldy on Tuesday please? We need volunteers to help plant 12 standard trees on Hayfield Road from 9.30am to around 1pm. Meet at the corner of Hayfield Road and Chestnut Avenue https://maps.app.goo.gl/SktyDEFqpFTEJKfg9
Volunteers will need to be willing to do physical work, such as digging, lifting and/or hammering. All guidance, PPE, and tools will be provided by on-site FCCT staff. Refreshments including a hot drink and biscuits are also provided.
The trees are the final standard tree planting of the current season, and will create larger, better connected canopy cover in a low tree equity area.
If interested, please contact FCCT`s Community Tree Planting Officer, Robert Boughen at:
