Appeal for volunteers to help clear Bog Burn

RiverLife: Almond & Avon are looking for volunteers to work with them on the Bog Burn in Bathgate.

The priority is to clear overgrown paths around a wetland area and cut material will be used to create amphibian refuges.

The meeting place is Morrisons car park (EH48 2SS) at 10am on Thursday.

To reserve a place or to get more information contact Luke on l.park@forthriverstrust.org
or phone 07907 211199.

A spokesman said: “This session will be the third of a six-month block of volunteering on the Bog burn taking place on the third Thursday of every month.

“If you are coming along, please bring clothing suitable to the weather conditions. We will provide tools for the task at hand.”
