Carrifran Wildwood Minibus Trip
Auchencairn Community Transport project were delighted to welcome ten members of the community on our inaugural minibus trip to Carrifran Wildwood on 4th August. Carrifran is an inspiring landscape rewilding project managed by the Borders Forest Trust. Accompanied by nature guide Barry O’Dowd, participants enjoyed a beautiful walk through the valley, the best example of ecologically planned woodland creation in the UK. Special highlights were sightings of a Golden Eagle, a family of Peregrine falcons and a Scotch Argus butterfly. Many thanks also to Susanna who was our ACT rep for the day. Over the coming months ACT will be running more excursions and shopping trips (see page 3 for upcoming trips). Our minibus trips are for everyone and we welcome suggestions on what trips you’d like to see and how they can serve the needs of our community.

As part of our community transport project ACT are looking for local volunteer drivers. We are able to offer volunteers MIDAS training as part of this. There is no fixed commitment but if you think you can offer some time please email actbefore2025@gmail for more information.
