Kincorth Hill Local Nature Reserve is a very beautiful area just to the south of Aberdeen with a large mix of flora & fauna (and a good selection of caches too!). Unfortunately the heathland at the top of this hill is suffering from the encroachment of invasive gorse & broom plants.
The local ranger team have this site earmarked as an area requiring more attention, so why not come along and give them a hand in cutting/pulling/chopping/tearing back the gorse to help let the natural, native heather heathland regenerate across the hillside? (If we are lucky, we might just be rewarded with tea/coffee/hot chocolate & biscuits) :D
The main event will run from 12.30 - 4.00pm but myself and the ranger team will be there from about 10.00am, so do feel free to pop along & join us earlier if you want to - the more the merrier!
All tools (and gloves) will be provided by the Countryside Ranger Service, but if you do want to bring along your own gardening gloves, do feel free.
Please no additional tools though, thanks.
Parking is available nearby, as well as a regular local bus service with a stop just beside the main entrance to Kincorth Hill (see additional waypoints).
