Ardura Forest

We are very excited to announce that we have started the formal process to purchase Ardura Forest. This is an amazing opportunity to do something a little differently with a strong focus on restoring the ancient woodlands that were replaced in the 1960’s by coniferous plantation. The photo below shows the old on the left and the plantation on the right…

Please feel free to send messages of support for the bid to mfinch@mict.co.uk

We’ve set up a page on our website where you can keep up to date with all the latest information.

Where are we: We are at a new base this year and are being hosted by Craignure Golf Club (NM704384) on the outskirts of the village of Craignure (just over a mile from the Craignure ferry terminal). On booking you will be given more details about where and when to meet.

Booking: Booking is essential. Bookings and further information can be obtained from Visit Scotland at Craignure and by phone on 01680 812556. Each trip lasts about one and a half hours. Trips will run at 11am and 2pm, Sunday – Friday (closed on Saturdays)

Price: Adult tickets (including RSPB members) cost £8. If you’re under 16, your ticket costs £4. A family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) costs £20. If you live on Mull, it’s free. Please pay the ranger on the day by cash or cheque (‘Mull & Iona Community Trust’). Sorry, we don’t have a card machine at the moment.

What should I bring:Wet weather gear is best (just in case) as are practical shoes as the trip involves a short walk along the edge of the golf course.

The role is based in the south of Mull and involves assisting with varied tasks over a number of island sites including Iona and Staffa. Tasks will include wildlife survey work, delivery of education projects and public events programme, providing information to visitors, practical maintenance. Accommodation and some travel costs will be covered.
