Midmar Paths in 2024 “ In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks. ” - John Muir It has been a quiet few months over winter and spring for maintaining and improving local paths. The best thing for paths when the grass is not growing is that they are being walked and treaded on. Hopefully despite the recent
(very) wet weather you ’ ve been able to enjoy the paths maintained improved in 2023 and others! WHAT ’ S THE GOAL? The purpose of a regular path group is to maintain and improve the paths locally, making them more accessible for all users and hopefully reducing the risk of scratches, stings, and tick bites too. Over the last few years these meet ups have also provided a great way to meet our “ neighbours ”, learn new skills and give something back to the community we are part of. UPCOMING PLANS
The Comers burn path, a peaceful place to wander.
This year we will to continue maintaining paths near Midmar Primary school, Comers and in Tillybirloch woods and are looking at a couple of opportunities to create new paths and make a few improvements in new areas. Plans will soon be made for regular meet ups from June to mid/late Autumn. There will be a survey available to give feedback on paths, check volunteer availability and generate more ideas about where we will focus our efforts in 2024. Get in touch with Becky to get the survey link (contact details below). GET INVOLVED
We would GREATLY appreciate any volunteers willing to help spend an hour or two helping. No skills required but having some tools like loppers, gloves, wheelbarrow, shovel can be helpful. Any amount of time you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. If you use the local paths, please help us maintain them if you are fit and able. Do you have any suggestions about a local path you ’ d like to see maintained or improved? Could you bake a cake or make a snack for the volunteers on meet up days?
Tillybirloch to Glenwood "school path", before and after in 2023!
