Rambles with the Ranger - May

Join Estate Ranger Hanna for a guided walk through the lower Glen Finglas Estate. We will make our way through some of the fabulous habitats we have on site, including our SSSI wetland, ancient woodland, and open grassland. Hanna will share the history of Glen Finglas, including the past 25 years of conservation work The Woodland Trust has achieved. We will also cover some basic tree species identification along the way and enjoy the spectacular surroundings of the Trossachs.
