~ Raising awareness

The Trust wants to raise awareness of opportunities for enjoying accessible woodland and urban green space in Livingston. A series of navigational leaflets will be prepared for Eliburn Woods and Deans Woods or alternatively why not – download the guide to your mobile phone (coming soon).

In the meantime if you want to learn more about your local woodland then why not take part in the West Lothian Walking Week which is taking place between 21 – 27 September.

The Trust and West Lothian Council are offering three walks as part of the festival.

Arlene, are you thinking of relocating here?

Many Thanks for this info I like to see modern community woodland projects/planting for the future, etc., just as much as the ancient/historical. No mention of a personal appearance by Su-Bo, though, singing "Wood, Glorious Wood!".

Sorry, being silly again!

~it's a cunning plan so that they get to see the Whales and Dolphins and I get to see the gardens and scenery !
