A walk in the Glen
Come and join Alva Glen Heritage Trust and expert forester Donald McPhillimy for a winter walk in the spectacular Alva Glen. The walk aims to give participants the knowledge and techniques required to identify and record a wide variety of tree species in a given location. The walk will have particular focus on the non-native Conifers and specimen trees that have survived in the glen since its use as a formal garden in the 19th Century.
