IN DETAIL

Cammo

Dorothy Lyle is hoping to set up a moth trap overnight, to be confirmed. The plan is to start by looking at the trap then walking the Butterfly transect that she does which basically follows the perimeter of the estate. We will look at the new planting and management of the area on the way round. After that have lunch beside the house and then explore/let people wander in the canal/low meadow/walled garden area.

Those wanting to do something more energetic in the afternoon have the option of joining Wilma Harper to walk along the River Almond, a walk of about 4K.
