Forest clearings to cityscapes; campfires to biomass; bushcraft to nanotechnology: Scotland’s forests have been a treasure trove of resources for thousands of years and a place to find refuge and wellbeing.

This is an event for all ages! With family-friendly woodland activities such as the den challenge in the woodland; hunt for forest mini-beasties, cook a marshmallow on a campfire; PLUS pre-school fun for wee siblings! Demonstrations of forestry (woodland establishment, timber harvesting); green woodworking demonstration. Discover the wider benefits of trees: from habitats for our native wildlife to flood control and carbon capture as well as guided walks to Glen Tanar’s native pine forest.
