Following our first Conservation Day of 2014 last week, with 14 folk collecting a bumper crop of Scots pine cones at Dundreggan Conservation Estate, it's the time of year for aspen root collection again.
We'll be visiting some interesting sites, new and old, on the Conservation Days in February. It promises to be a good year for flowering for aspen, the last was 1996, so we'll be looking for flower buds; we may well have additional days to collect flowering cuttings for identifying the sex of the trees.
We've got the Peoples Millions film crew returning on February the 14th to shoot some more film at Dundreggan following our successful bid for the £50,000. Share your love for the forest on Valentines Day!
We have also launched our Trees for Life Awards celebrating the wonderful contribution that our volunteers and volunteer group leaders have made to our work over the last 25 years. If you have volunteered with us and would like to nominate someone for the award please visit our website.
