Volunteer day at Kinclaven Bluebell Wood
Join us at Kinclaven Bluebell Wood to help remove vole guards from young trees so that they continue to grow and thrive.
Kinclaven Bluebell Wood, Stanley
Strap on your boots and come along to Kinclaven Wood to help us remove plastic vole guards from Court Hill, an area that was planted by local volunteers between 2018 and 2020.
The removal of vole guards has significant positive impacts on the environment, including:
- promoting tree growth and health
- reducing plastic waste
- supporting long-term conservation efforts.
The Woodland Trust Scotland manages over 60 woodlands across Scotland. Our vision is a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. We recommend bringing old clothes in case they snag on trees or undergrowth.
