Tree Planting on Glen Shant


Join the Arran Rangers for the last of the planting season!

Wednesday May 3rd, 10am – 4:30pm

Are you wanting to make a difference and give something back to the environment and the planet? If so, why not join us for a day of native tree planting on Glen Shant. You’ll be helping us establish upland birch woodland, great for biodiversity and for helping to mitigate climate change. Not only that, it’s a great day out in the wilder parts of Arran with that feel good factor at the end of the day.

A good level of fitness and surefootedness is required – the day involves a ca. 25min walk-in up to Glen Shant, then another 100m or so off-path steeply up a slope across very rough terrain to our planting site, carrying in trees and spades.

Limited numbers; so REGISTRATION IS ESSENTIAL. Minimum age 16; under 18s have to be accompanied by a responsible adult. This event will be cancelled if weather conditions are unsuitable. For more information, please telephone 01770 302462.
