The next meeting of the Woodland Group Committee will be held

All Members welcome.
We will be meeting at ‘The Stone’ (at the junction of Middlemas and Kellie Roads) and will be discussing the arrangements for
Beltane Day which will be held on the following Sunday.

Glendinnings, the very respected contractors from the Borders, are due to commence the long awaited work on the woodland footpaths. The upgrade and drain repairs are scheduled to commence on Wednesday 16th. March at the west side of the woodland.

For your information, a map of the woods showing all the paths is reproduced below.

BELTANE DAY – Sunday 1st MAY,

1pm till 4pm in the woods, at the Gathering Place behind the Meeting Stone by Kellie Road / Middlemas Road

Following on from the success of last year’s arts event, we wanted to make it bigger and better this year. So we have!

There will be something for all members of the family at this event – Fairy themed activities for wee ones, bush-craft skills for the older kids, music, poetry and stories, crafts, food and information for everyone.

The event is in tune with the aims of the Woodland Group – to encourage people in the community to use, enjoy and respect the natural environment for recreation – and to appreciate the wildlife with whom we share the woods.

Please come and join in the fun. Admission is FREE, but don’t forget to bring some money, as there will be food and craft stalls to spend money on!
