PLEASE NOTE: Access to Drummin Bog is limited due to the sensitive nature of the habitat and its status as a wildlife reserve. Great precaution must be taken in visiting the bog due to its unmarked deep drains, and other hazards. It is therefore recommended people do not walk on the bog alone. Children must always be supervised and no dogs please as efforts are in place to encourage birds to return. Thank you for understanding. In time, a woodland walkway is envisaged. The Drummin Bog Project is in its very early stages.

Volunteering– Have you been wondering how to contribute positively and locally in this time of evident climate change? Bogs are precious sites for carbon storage and much more. Come and help protect Drummin Bog, its flora and fauna, learn the science and appreciate the beauty
