River Restoration in the Dee Catchment, by Susan Cooksley, Dee Catchment Partnership.
Guided outing to Marycoulter Woods.
10:30-14:30, Saturday 7th July.
The visit should be of broad interest: setting up a community woodland trust and aspirations for further improvements in biodiversity and for social and educational benefits. But there’s plenty of natural interest already and a geologist to answer any questions about the rock outcrops & land forms.
Meet at the forestry road access, Grid Ref. NJ 862 991. If coming from the South Deeside Rd, B9077 or Netherley Road, B979, drive south up the hill past the church to Kirkton of Maryculter. Just passed Oldman Rd on the right, take the next left turn. The meeting point is approx. 500 metres after the turn, passed the bridge over the Crynoch Burn on the right hand side. There is ample parking.
Booking required. Please email
