During the ten years since purchase of Carrifran, volunteers have come to plant trees and do other work in the glen on the third Sunday of almost every month. These days have normally been led by our Project Officer, whose time has been paid for by Scottish Natural Heritage. This support from SNH does not extend beyond spring 2010 and we shall regretfully stop running regular Sunday volunteer days after March 2010.
We still welcome groups from other organisations who come for days or weekends to work at Carrifran. To make arrangements, please contact George Moffat or telephone BFT on 01835 830750. In case of difficulty, please email Philip Ashmole.
Individuals who are free to work on site on one or more Tuesdays should refer to the Tuesday volunteers page.
For further information on dates, download the volunteer calendar.
If you are driving to Carrifran, download directions to the car park.

Some tools will be provided, but bring your favourite spade if convenient. Some of the planting is on steep rocky slopes and may involve a substantial walk, but there are always other things to do lower down.
Please note:
Remember to come in appropriate wet weather/fleeced clothing and bring a pair of heavy waterproof gardening gloves to protect your hands. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt are definitely not sufficient for your comfort or safety!!!
We also strongly advise walking boots as parts of the site are very slippery. Finally, remember to bring your lunch and a drink.
If you have any questions, please contact George Moffat.
