Families In Nature: Beach Day At Troon Library

Families in Nature: Beach Day at Troon Library

A group of people are outdoors in a natural coastal setting with grassy dunes and an open sky. In the foreground, several individuals of different ages are walking together across a sandy or grassy area. Some of the individuals are carrying or guiding small children, while others walk slightly ahead or beside them. Clothing appears casual and suitable for mild weather, including jackets or long-sleeved tops. The surrounding environment features tall grass and low vegetation typical of a seaside landscape, with a wide, open horizon in the background. The lighting suggests daytime, with soft natural light illuminating the scene. The overall composition conveys a peaceful outdoor activity, such as a family outing or group walk in nature.

Explore Troon Beach and esplanade as we look for birds, plants and insects across the habitat

This event is part of a series encouraging families to connect with nature across South Ayrshire.

Join us for a day at the beach where we will look for birds in the air and along the rocky shores and look for bugs and plants on the grassy sections.

Where should we meet?
Meet inside Troon Library. We will wait for a maximum of 5 minutes for latecomers, after which we will leave the library to travel to Troon Beach.

Who is the event open to?
This event is open to all ages, and under 18s must be accompanied by a guardian at all times.

What do I need to bring?
If you have binoculars or a pond dipping net feel free to bring them. I will have binoculars, nets, id guides and specimen trays with me.

What should I wear?
Please check the weather; we will be outside and walking from Troon Library to Troon beach (5 minutes), so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

Who is delivering this workshop?
Aimée Moretti. I am a Senior Project Officer with The Conservation Volunteers where I deliver Citizen Science sessions across Scotland. Citizen science is the collection or analysis of scientific data by members of the general public. It’s all about discovering wildlife, exploring habitats, and finding out more about the data you can collect to protect biodiversity.

If you know you won’t make it please let me know ASAP. Unfortunately with free events people feel less committed to attend and often don’t inform hosts that they won’t attend. It’s a shame when this happens as other interested folk may miss out on booking a space.
