📣 Calling all Nature Detectives 📣🔍🔍🔍
🚨Difficulty level - HARD🚨

To finish of our series with a bang we thought we would give you ANOTHER trickier one!

So, very few hints, but can you guess which of our Abernethy specialist may have left this deposit on the reserve? 💩

During the school holidays we were looking for to help us understand more about our incredible forest and the wildlife that lives here.

Let us know what animal you think may have done this down in the comments! 🔍

The Green Lochan is always a lovely little walk, with the main tracks suitable for bikes and buggies too. There’s a more difficult track through the trees on the hillside and if you want to go further you can walk to Ryovan Bothy and in to the hills beyond.

Parking at Glenmore can be tricky at this time of year as it can get busy, but there is plenty of parking slightly further along at Hayfield. Please park considerately.
