Basic training offered and further training for those interested in developing their skills further. It is a physical job - and a ‘mucky’ one 😉 - as well requiring all the skills outlined above.

If you are genuinely interested and can commit your time - and it is a commitment as well as being incredibly rewarding - then please text Alison on 07484 649027 - leave your full name and the area you live in. I will get back to as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you

Ahead of the Skylark breeding season commencing, visitors to Riverside Nature Park are being reminded to take care when navigating the area in order to keep ground-nesting birds safe. 🪺🐦

Riverside Nature Park is home to the largest wildflower meadows in the city and is a popular spot for many walkers and dog owners.

In order to protect rare birds at the park, such as the skylarks, the Council and the Friends of Riverside Nature Park Group are again asking walkers to be careful at the Nature Park from April to August, and to keep on paths with dogs on leads.

The measures in place, and the public keeping to them, has helped the skylarks to achieve an impressive increase in the number of birds at Riverside, despite a general decline of the bird species across the UK.

First of the winter blooms. Snowdrops and winter aconite. Have you spotted any winter flowers? 🌸🌺

We are holding a quiz night on Saturday 3rd February in the Strathmore Community Hub, Couper Angus starting at 7.30pm.

Tables are £10 per team (max 4 people per team).

If you want to come along but don't have a team, please get in touch as we have others looking for team mates!

Open to members and non-members.

Feel free to contact me by Facebook messenger, or drop me an email at [email protected].

Hope to see you there!

I’ve got a few stories on show at this exhibition. There is such a variety of art - songs to paintings! It’s a really great little walk for anyone who is interested 😊

If anyone is around today, I’ll be chatting about renewables and the climate after a showing of Into the Ice - a brilliant film.

Our handy Festival programme guide is now available.

Or pick up your free copy from The Montrose Playhouse.

We're running a bat event on Friday 22nd September at Trottick Ponds. Walking around the paths, we'll be using torches and bat detectors to search for the only flying mammal and hope to see other night time creatures as well - like the newts that live in the ponds.

There will be a charge for this and spaces are limited, so please get in touch with us either via Facebook message or email to book your space. It's a good family event and the relatively early time means that older kids should be able to come along and it won't be past their bedtime!

Great work!
