Bog Squad Work Party At Portmoak Moss

Sunday 5th November – Scrub clearance at Portmoak Moss (Scotlandwell, near Loch Leven)

The Bog Squad will be joining forces with the Portmoak Community Woodland group and Lothian Conservation Volunteers to clear birch and conifer seedlings at Portmoak Moss in order to protect it's valuable peatland habitat. Invasive scrub, if left to grow will take vital water resources away from the bog which threatens the specialised flora and fauna that live there. We’ll be using tools such as tree poppers, saws and mini mattocks to remove the scrub.
​
The work suits all abilities, but you need a steady footing as we will be working and walking across challenging, uneven and boggy terrain.

Start: 10am at Portmoak Moss (We'll give you directions and information).
Finish: 3pm
Please bring: Water, lunch, wellies or sturdy waterproof walking boots and old work clothes - including waterproofs. 
Booking: Please book your space by visiting here and completing the booking form. Joining instructions will be sent to everyone who registers.

Contact: Anthony McCluskey @email if you have any queries.
