Heart of Scotland Weekend Volunteering - Perthshire

Dun Coillich is over 1000 acres of community owned hill land that sits east of Schiehallion in Highland Perthshire. The land was acquired in 2002 and over the last 20 years it has been managed as an ecological restoration project. The once overgrazed hill has now been planted with 250,000 native trees and natural regeneration is now also happening over much of the site.

 

Our weekend volunteer days are run on the last Sunday of every month and are an opportunity to come and join us to help take care of this special piece of land and involve a wide range of practical tasks; from helping to improve our walking trails, to maintain our deer fence, looking after our trees and getting involved in our biological monitoring programmes.

 

All welcome, there will be a variety of tasks on offer each day to suit all abilities and all training and tools will be provided. No experience necessary as all tasks are led by our experienced project officers, all you need to bring is yourselves, suitable outdoor gear (that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy) and a packed lunch. Hot drinks and biscuits provided.

 

These days are run as part of the Heart of Scotland Forest Partnership and some days will be run on our neighbouring properties. Please check with the organiser where the meeting point for the day will be.
