www.warkfarm.co.ukTo celebrate June at Wark we are focussing on plants and are holding a practical talk on the plants to be found on the farm. The event will take the format of a short wander though some of the farm habitats finding, identifying and learning about the flowers and grasses to be found here and their role in nature and farming. The talk will be led by Bob Davies. Bob is the proprietor of Forvie Tree Nursery and specialises in growing native shrubs and trees from locally sourced seed. Bob was previously a countryside ranger and is a very experienced natural historian with a great skill for sharing his knowledge in an entertaining manner.
The talk will start at 11:00am on Saturday, 30th June. We will start at the farm and ramble for a short distance from the yard stopping at points of interest, so it should be suitable for all ages, but be prepared with appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather on the day. Please bring children too – all welcome – and we will find some suitable amusements for them on the theme. If you have, do bring along plant identification books and you can put them to use on what we find.
Wark Farm is near Alford in Aberdeenshire - there will be a few of the folk from Neeps going along and possibly ending up in the pub in the afternoon
- anyone else interested?
