It’s that time of year again, the Flows are turning russet and there is a definite chill in the air. Hats are most definitely back on (and thermals too) and it’s not too long until our visitor centre closes for the winter season.
I’ve had a lovely summer here at Forsinard. I’ve met some great people; from all over the world and I’ve seen some amazing wildlife. So I’d like to thank everyone who has come to visit us at Forsinard or at any of our outreach events, you’ve made this summer so successful!
Back in May I set up a display called “Build a Bog”. I created a bog and some template species for people to make/ decorate so that the bog could be filled with life. I’m delighted with how its turned out, with so many people taking part and creating some wonderfully imaginative bog creatures! What do you think?
Before and after Build A Bogs!
Although the visitor centre closes on Friday the 31st of October both the Dubh Lochan Trail and the Forsinain Trail are open all year round. But please be aware that winter conditions can make the access to the trails, and the walks themselves much more strenuous and difficult. Weather conditions can change extremely quickly here, particularly in winter/early spring when ice, snow or flooding often occurs, so warm waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are essential! You can contact the office if you have any questions.
The Visitor Centre will be open again in April 2015, keep an eye on the reserve website for updates.
