Scottish Native Woods are guests of People's Postcode Trust at a Charity Gala in the Scottish Parliament this week. Photographs will be on our blogsite soon.
A brief summary of last year is here Annual Report 08-09.pdf
Our Autumn newsletter is now available autweb.09.pdf
The People's Postcode Trust are supporting our work in Fife. Thanks to this we will be upgrading paths and building bridges over the streams in Flisk Wood. We will also be organising a litter pick through the wood and on the adjacent beach.
This will form part of the Fife Coastal Path network and Flisk Wood is a fantastic place to visit with wonderful views over the Tay estuary.
We will be looking for volunteers to help with this so watch this space or contact chris.childe@scottishnativewoods.org.uk or call Chris on 01337 832619.

Teams of three are required so get your friends or colleagues fired up. See volunteering opportunities for more information.
