SUMMARY:Stanley Swift Project
DESCRIPTION:Our Scottish-born swifts are only with us for three months each year. After a journey of up to 6\,000 mile from equatorial and southern Africa\, they return to their chosen nests in Scotland in early May and head south to Africa again in August. Their nest sites here are at constant danger of being lost so we need to find out where they are to help safeguard them for the future. \nCome and join our volunteers as they carry out surveys of swift nesting sites and flying swifts across Stanley village throughout the month of June. We don’t necessarily plan far in advance as we go out on evenings when the weather is suitable\, usually in the couple of hours before dusk. Contact us at stanleyswiftproject@gmail.com if you’d like to arrange to come out with us one evening and see what is involved.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk Dronley Community Woodland (Dundee)
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you for a guided walk at Dronley Community Woodland (north of Dundee\, by Birkhill). It is a multi-purpose woodland: timber production\, biodiversity and recreation are equal priorities. \nDronley Community Woodland offers volunteering opportunities\, courses\, and school involvement to establish a strong connection between the local community and their woodland. We manage Dronley Wood according to the site conditions and the ecological processes by applying low-impact woodland management operations. This kind of woodland management is called Continuous Cover Forestry. Our management approach protects the soil\, forest microclimate\, flora\, fauna and trees. We aim to develop Dronley Wood towards a resilient mixed woodland that can produce high-quality timber for the benefit of future generations whilst maintaining\, enhancing and safeguarding a functioning woodland ecosystem. \nDuring the guided walk\, we want to show you what we have achieved so far and highlight the challenges for the future. We will highlight the essential role of Continuous Cover Forestry in mitigating the effects of climate change and discuss the vital importance of developing existing woodland towards site-adapted\, diverse\, multi-aged and resilient mixed woods. \nTransforming existing woodlands into diverse and resilient mixed woods by thinning systems like transformation thinning\, irregular shelterwood method\, encouraging natural regeneration and underplanting gaps will become the dominating silvicultural topics for woodland management for the next decades. We will have the opportunity to see and discuss the different silvicultural systems helping us to develop healthy\, stable\, multi-layered and resilient mixed woodlands for the benefit of future generations. \nDronley Community Woodland is involved in the Angus Climate Hub. For more information please visit both our new website: https://dronleywood.org/ and the Angus Climate Hub: https://www.angusclimatehub.co.uk/current-projects. \nPlease bring waterproofs\, sturdy footwear and your own packed lunch. Please pre-book a place for the Guided Walk (or have any queries) by email: dronleycommunitywoodland@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds: Ecological Zonation Along the Intertidal Zone (East Haven)
DESCRIPTION:A FIELD TRIP TO EAST HAVEN WITH DR. KEITH SKENE \n£17.50 and £20 \nThe intertidal zone is one of the most fascinating ecological places on the planet\, key to so much debate in terms of the impact of climate change\, but so often over-looked. Here we find an amazing array of organisms that spend much of their day underwater\, and a good part in the open air. This extraordinary challenge has led to some inspiring acts of survival. As we move from the upper shore to the lower shore\, we see beneath our feet the intriguing process of ecological zonation. \nEast Haven is a great place to explore this amazing range of adaptations\, from the top of the shore\, where the seaweeds are so adapted to terrestrial life that they drown if underwater for more than an hour or two\, to the lower shore\, where they barely peep above water. And then there are the rockpools – whole worlds full of extraordinary natural stories. \nIt was at East Haven\, in 1994\, that Dr Keith Skene discovered why these seaweeds cope with these rapidly changing conditions\, as an undergraduate student at the University of Dundee. Join him as he teases apart the magic and history of the rocky shores at East Haven\, one of the earliest recorded fishing communities in Scotland. \nThe rocks can be slippery in places so please wear shoes with a good grip. Walking boots are recommended. \nPlease note: Participants joining this visit do so at their own risk and must arrange their own transport and lunch. \nBooking is via Eventbrite and our website
