When is this event?
Join Curlew LIFE for an evening of fascinating talks, nature inspired arts and crafts, and musical tunes to celebrate waders as they return to Strathspey and Badenoch to breed.
Local landowners, authors, politicians and other members of the public with an interest in waders and the wider countryside will be leading the conversations, and everybody is welcome!
Strathspey and Badenoch is currently a hotspot for these ground nesting birds, but even here their future is not secured. This evening will be the perfect opportunity to learn more about the threats these birds face in our area and what opportunities are available for us to support them.
Doors from 6pm, Boathouse Restaurant: Complementary welcome drink and appetisers with wader arts, crafts and posters.
Seats 7pm, Ptarmigan Dome: Presentations and music, with a licensed bar available throughout the evening.
Free, but booking is essential – please email insh@rspb.org.uk to secure your place.
Guests will also be welcome to claim 10% off a meal at the Boathouse Restaurant’s curry night before the event, from 5pm. Please contact them directly to reserve a table.
As the clocks change and the evenings begin to lengthen again, join us for a special evening of yoga and nature connection at the gorgeous Kinrara House and reset for the coming Spring.
We will begin our evening in the beautiful grounds of Kinrara estate, walking through woodland looking over the Cairngorm mountains. Led by a local wildlife guide, we will learn more about the land we are walking through and looking at, and what Cairngorms Connect is doing to protect and restore it.
As darkness begins to fall, we will return to cosy Kinrara House for a candle-lit yoga session, led by local yoga instructor Jo of Wilderness Flow Yoga, who will guide us through a dynamic yoga flow, suitable for beginners.
To round off the evening we will share a delicious meal of Cairngorms Connect venison, prepared by The Pagoda. This local, sustainable source of meat is an important part of the habitat restoration story, and gives us another way to connect with the land we are in. (A vegetarian/vegan option will also be available.)
Booking is essential.
