Who Goes There!? Track & Sign workshop

Join GSAB's Nature Recovery officer Antoine Lemaire for a guided walk in the woodlands and the Fairy Knowe outside Barr. Together we will explore the woodlands looking for woodland creatures and the signs they leave behind. Feeding signs, scat, footprints, sounds, feathers and hair. On the walk we will learn how to create a plaster cast of a hoof, foot or paw print (if we find some!).

Parking & Meeting Point: We will meet at the lower parking lot, turn right at the fork at the end of Changue Road. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nRBXuJ6PBdpNHqxU9.

Please arrive slightly before 9am so we can get organised and have plenty of time for the walk.

Accessibility: During this walk we will follow animal tracks and runs which will take us off the beaten track. This means we may have to negotiate low branches, steep terrain, muddy patches etc.

What to bring:

• Clothing for the weather
• Suitable footwear with a good tread
• Your lunch if you feel you will need it!
• Questions and curiosity
• Walking stick if you need one
