Litter Picking (Mrs Duckett)<\/strong>
\nHelp make the Den beautiful again! Litter pick this Saturday 10am – 11am. Meet by the KHS crossing to the path which leads to the Shell Garage.
\n\ud83d\udc3e Scotland is a nation of animal lovers \u2014 and the Den is one of our local treasures! Let\u2019s show how proud we are by keeping it clean, litter\u2011free and safe for the amazing wildlife that lives right on our doorstep. \ud83c\udf0d\u2728
\n\ud83e\udd8c Did you know deer wander quietly through the woodland? They rely on the Den\u2019s peaceful cover to rest, feed, and raise their young. Litter can frighten them, injure them, or disrupt their natural paths.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd8a Foxes slip through the undergrowth at dusk, searching for food and shelter.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd89 Owls perch silently in the trees, hunting in the twilight.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd94 Hedgehogs snuffle through the leaves looking for insects.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd8b Butterflies and bees thrive among the wildflowers, helping the whole woodland ecosystem flourish.<\/p>\n

All of these creatures depend on a clean, healthy habitat \u2014 and we can help protect it. \ud83c\udf31\ud83d\udcaa
\nThank you<\/p>\n
