The next couple of weeks at Forsinard will see the changing of the guard between our winter residential volunteers and our summer survey volunteers. It’s exciting times: we are re-wetting the large expanse of blanket bog known as the Uair at the moment. This is an area of over 1,000 ha of bog habitat in the heart of the Flow country. We already have the first sign of spring, with the first Golden Plover being heard on the Uair during our deer survey the other day.
We have a couple of spare short-term volunteer slots over the next couple of weeks, so we need some extra pairs of hands to help us to complete our management works before the breeding season begins.
If you think you would like to join us, please get in touch...email daniela.klein@rspb.org.uk if you are interested or would like more information.

This is also a good opportunity to say "thank you" to Mark, one of our residential volunteers who is leaving to return back to the Western Isles over the summer. We would like to wish him all the best and to thank him for all the hard work he has done at Forsinard over the last couple of months. We really could not undertake all the work we do without the dedication and hard work of our residential volunteers like Mark.
