COMMUNITIES

We support a number of local community groups in the improvement of their local
woodland. From creating safe paths and new accesses to production and installation
of sculpture to create a sense of local identity

Are you interested in improving your local community woodland?
We can provide advice, training and support to help local communities to improve
their local woodland for biodiversity, recreation and access.

Do you use your local East Ayrshire Woodlands Site for craft activities or to
harvest natural produce? Let us know.

Community Talks & Walks

East Ayrshire Woodlands can provide illustrated talks on a variety of conservation
and woodland subjects to community groups and other groups. These can also take
place in our woodlands, as well as in a centre or hall. (some recent talks highlighted below)

We are also happy to lead community groups and other groups around one of our
woodland sites, if there is a particular subject you would like for an organised walk.
Example walks could be;

Woodland management
Tree identification & folklore
Introduction to woodland birdsong

There would be a small charge per head or group for a nature walk and we would
normally require a minimum of 6 people.

for use in basketweaving, hurdle & garden structure making, living fences and
planting schemes.
