SUMMARY:Community Garden Open Day (Kirriemuir)
DESCRIPTION:Our Action for Nature and Food & Growing volunteers are hosting a Summer Open Day at the Community Garden at St. Mary’s Field to coincide with Tayside Biodiversity Partnership‘s 25-year anniversary! \nWe are developing our Community Garden into a space where we grow climate-friendly food alongside nature\, and want to share our tranquil and productive space with you. \nIn 2020 we kicked off our food growing with a polytunnel\, potting shed and composting toilet\, and we’ve come a long way since then! Last year we added a huge wildlife pond to the garden\, and later a hibernaculum\, to support our many amphibian friends in the garden. We’ve also built huge composting bays to increase our capacity to create our own gardener’s gold! St. Mary’s Field is also home to our Outdoor Tots group\, who earlier this year developed their own exploration area in the garden with the help of many volunteers. \nEveryone is very welcome to come along to our Open Day to relax in the peaceful atmosphere of the garden. You will be able to try your hand at some nature-friendly activities and enjoy some tea and cake! Our volunteers will be on hand to share their knowledge and enthusiasm about a variety of wildlife species. Zoe\, our Food & Growing Project Officer\, will also be there to talk about how you can get involved with growing food\, flowers\, herbs and skills!

SUMMARY:Half Day Beaver Safari
DESCRIPTION:This trip visits a wonderful location near Alyth where beavers have built a series of amazing dams and we can easily see how they have changed the surroundings to produce wildlife-rich wetlands. \nWe spend the first half of the evening on a walk to see all these changes in the environment and the second half sitting by the beaver pools\, watching the beavers swimming\, feeding\, grooming and even dam repairing if we are lucky! \nThis is a great trip to learn all about the history of beavers in Scotland\, their life story\, how they re-appeared in Perthshire and why they are so important to the ecology of our rivers and wetlands. We have a 95-100% success rate of seeing the beavers on this trip. \nThis is a great trip for families as everyone can collect their own beaver chips and beaver-chewed sticks! \nOther half day beaver safaris can be arranged on 13th\, 20th and 27th June.
