A WALKING group will be held at Woodroad Park in Cumnock in December to learn about various aspects of nature.

Organised by Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere's nature recovery officer, the free event will take place on Saturday, December 13 from 9am-1pm.

The guided walk will aim to learn more about the signs left behind by woodland creatures, including feeding signs, scat, footprints, sounds, feathers and hair.

A walk through the Woodroad's wooded areas will be coupled with learning how to create a plaster cast of a hoof, foot or paw print.

Anyone interested in joining the event can sign up online at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/who-goes-there-track-sign-workshop-tickets-1975105883867.

Those taking part will meet at the Woodroad Park car park.

Participants are asked to arrive slightly before 9am so the group can get organised and have plenty of time for the walk.

If you are taking part, you are asked to bring suitable clothing and footwear, lunch if you require it, a walking stick if needed, and plenty of curiosity.
