Description {{detailsExpanded ? '- Show Less' : '+ Show More'}}
Thursday 7 May 2026, 6.30-8pm, Guided Walk at Drumbrae
Join the Community Ranger from the University of Edinburgh for a free guided visit to Drumbrae, where the university is creating new woodland to boost biodiversity and capture carbon as part of the Forest and Peatland Programme. You can find out more here: edin.ac/drumbrae.
During this walk you will learn more about our woodland creation aims, local nature and ecology, archaeology and how to get involved through volunteering and citizen science. As part of the guided walk we will do some basic tree identification. We will be walking on a variety of terrain including surfaced paths, grassy paths and rough / uneven ground. The site is on a hillside so it will involve walking uphill and downhill.
Attendees must be over 16 years old. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. You should wear sturdy footwear with good grip (walking boots are ideal) and clothes suitable for the forecasted weather. Avoid wearing shorts, covered legs are better to reduce risks associated with ticks. Bring drinking water and any medication that you may need (e.g. inhalers). You are welcome to bring walking poles if like and we will also have a small supply of walking poles if anyone would like to borrow on the day. Please note there are no toilet facilities.
