Singing Trees – Wooden Xylophone making with Steve Sharpe

Dear Members,

I trust that you enjoyed Will’s talk about Green burials on the Hinterland, Steve’s sharing about bees that was the substitute for the walk due to the rain that day and the moth recording event if you managed to attend any of these events.

I wanted to let you know about another thing happening in the woods which you may wish to join in; Findhorn Bay Arts are carrying out a three day workshop making a giant wooden xylophone up at the woodland shelter in Wilkies Wood which will become a permanent home for this piece of art. This will take place this coming Wednesday 7th August and will last until Friday the 9th August with work going on from 10am to 5pm. I will post the information that is on their website below:

You can also phone 01309675724 and book your place with Celia. You do not have to be there all the time but can dip in and out if you like although it would be good to let Steve know who might be coming along.

It should be fun. Do come along if you are interested and can.
