EVENTS FOR JANUARY

We are delighted to announce two FREE events for the New Year courtesy of TCV Scotland and The Outdoor Partnership.  The first is about the importance of dead and dying wood to the ecology of a woodland and how it forms the basis of woodland life.  The second is a mindful session about connecting with the sensory side of the outdoors.  Booking is with TCV - details on the poster above.

 

 

 

***CHANGE OF DATE FOR FEBRUARY VOLUNTEER SESSION - NOW SUNDAY 1st MARCH***

Our monthly volunteer sessions will now recommence on  Sunday 1st March 2026 and not the week before as previously advertised.  This is because we have the opportunity of a joint session with volunteers from Scottish Wildlife Trust Ayrshire.  We look forward to welcoming volunteers old & new.  As ever, there will be some tasks for all abilities.  No previous experience is necessary and it's really good fun!  Check out our Get Involved page for more details about volunteering with us.

 

 

RECYCLING SATURDAY TROON

 

We at Friends of Fullarton are very grateful to the Recycling Saturday group, who collect items that would otherwise go to landfill and raise money for various charities and community groups.  Our funds have recently benefitted from the sale of used tech items, such as mobile phones and tablets.  This money will be used for the much-needed replacement of some of our old tools. 

The group produce a monthly list of the items they are collecting.  Their collection point is at Marr College car park, 10:30am - 11 on the 3rd Saturday of the month.  See their Facebook page for more details, or Troon Going Out magazine.

 

CITIZEN SCIENTISTS WANTED!

We recently welcomed Alex from TCV Scotland, who led a very informative workshop on identifying wildlife and using apps to record sightings.  It is increasingly important to know the number and location of species of flora & fauna in light of climate change and loss of habitat.  We would encourage anyone interested in helping to record wildlife in Fullarton Woods to find out more and consider submitting records which, when confirmed, will form part of the National Biodiversity Index.
