A lovely event made possible by one of our young volunteers. We put up 12 boxes in the Park and received sponsorship of 13 more to be put up in the Autumn. RSPB Glasgow joined us on the day and we had great fun talking to Park users, getting some new members and a few surveys filled out. There was floating bird food, an impromptu litter pick and a brilliant muddy puddle to splash in!

Friends of Linn Park took a frosty walk in the park to assess the work needed along the White Cart Walkway. We identified a few areas which will need drainage, new sleepers and also re-surfacing.
Looking forward to organising volunteer days in the new year to undertake the improvements.

Our second official Friends of Linn Park day. A group of volunteers planted out two glades with wildflowers, and we set up a stall to chat to park users. We had over 100 conversations with park users, and over 30 surveys filled out on the day. The volunteers got over 400 wildflower seedlings planted into the glades, and spied a young deer among the trees. At the last moment of the session we spotted a kingfisher from the white bridge!
We hope to follow up on the survey results early in the New Year.

A volunteer day of planting wildflower seedlings into the Simshill Meadow. This will increase bio-diversity and provide better attractions for birds, bees and butterflies. Over 200 seedlings were planted on the day and a corporate planting event the next day further improved the meadow.
