Nuts About Squirrels
Come along and help celebrate National Red Squirrel Week with Forestry Commission Scotland and Countryside Rangers from the National Park. Find out more about our bushy-tailed friends and take part in squirrel-related activities designed for all the family. Join us on a guided walk to look for squirrel signs and visit a viewing hide where we may be lucky enough to see some of the elusive creatures. Suitable for all the family. The guided walk is approximately 2km (just over 1 mile) long. Bring weatherproof clothing and appropriate footwear. Don't forget to bring some binoculars. Sorry no dogs on the guided walk.
Guided walk starts at 1pm and 3pm.
