Clackmannanshire Countryside Ranger Service is once again running a summer programme of events for all.
The first event gets underway this Saturday 19th May, when there will be a Community Clean-up at Devon Way between 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Meeting at Sation Road Dollar
The event is part of National Spring Clean and volunteers will be walking the Devon Way path between Dollar and Tillicoultry and picking up rubbish along the way.
Head of Community and Regulatory Services, John Gillespie, said: "We will provide bags, litter pickers and gloves. We would encourage as many people to come along and join in, and at the same time, play a major part in helping our community."
Then on Sunday, 20th May, the public are invited to assist with a woodland conservation day at Gean Wood in Alloa you can turn up any time between 10am and 3pm
This event will help improve an area of woodland as part of Scottish Biodiversity Week 2012
Mr Gillespie added: " It is a practical woodland activity day for all the family. We hope that as many people come along to support the event and help this woodland by removing invading species of non-native plants , improve the surrounding paths and remove rubbish from the small pond ."
There will be something for all ages to get involved with. Any amount of time you can give will be appreciated and once you have put some work in you can enjoy a cup of tea made by the wood burning kettles.
Tools safety kit and information will be supplied. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
