If you go down to the boardwalk you will see some new signs that have been put up in the last week. These hopefully will provide a bit more information for visitors. This includes details of what events we are running, guidence for dog walkers at the moss and 2 signs have been designed, written and drawn by Thornhill Primary. One is all about the do's and don'ts of visiting the site at different seasons. The other tells visitors all about the wildflower meadow by the car park that Thornhill Primary are helping us create (more about this later in the season). Luckily they weren't up when we had our bit of vandalism. We also have new leaflet holders up with laminated leaflets that visitors can "borrow" for their walk.
The frames that hold the signs have been beautifully made by John Burgess from Arnrpior using loal Scottish oak from the Garden estate. It is very satisfying to be able to use a local contractor and a local material and it doesn't get much local than that.
At other points around the Moss there are also new threshold signs. These "monoliths" (corporate term for great big signs) tell people that they are about to enter the NNR, what hazards they might find and that they are better off going round to where the boardwalk is.
