Off to ‘Sorley’s Cave’!

This week, Team Otter Broadford headed to a cave that the leaders were brought to awareness of by Sorley, one of the group’s members. We had promised visiting, but time had never allowed, but this Monday, it did.

The group jumped in the cars and the short journey to the cave and then completed the short climb to the entrance. The cave appeared to be an old river area, given the limestone rocks, and the kids plucked up some bravery to climb down in to the cave. Amid the darkness, the cave was providing habitats for wildlife, as we passed a small toad and numerous spiders!

The kids did really well to make their way through the cave and out the other side, despite the darkness, limited space and countless spiders!

Great to welcome Felix to the group, and thanks to Callum and Nick for helping out – as always.

Team Otter Broadford is back!

We welcomed the kids back after the summer holidays with sunshine in Broadford. Sunshine only means one thing and that's getting outside. The primary crew took part in a wildlife survey, where they tried to identify different species and classify them as mammals, birds, fish etc. We were delighted to see different bird species, some crabs and fish and dolphins!

The high school group took to Irishman's Point and made some brief plans for the new school year!

The weather finally gave us a chance to make “Pick it Plant it” happen! We, along with Broadford and Strath Community Company (BSCC) organised a community litter pick, to clean habitats, and a tree planting afternoon, to create more!

We were delighted to have a nice spring morning to hold the event! We had a group setting off at Waterloo road end, where the other group headed north from the hall – aiming to cover most of the Broadford area. Three hours of litter picking followed where we managed to send a skip filled away from our area and ensure a cleaner Broadford for wildlife and locals to enjoy!

The afternoon was all about trees, as we headed to the Broadford Allotments, after maintaining habitats, it was time to create more! Co-ordinated by BSCC, the morning’s “litter pickers” took to planting trees around the area.

It was a highly successful community effort and we are delighted with the outcome of this. We wanted to say a massive thank you to the Highland Council for their supply of the skip for the litter, Broadford Co-op for helping provide bags and snacks and the Team Otter parents for making lunch to keep the workers fed! Finally, thanks to Nicholas for collecting all the bags and transporting them to the skip.

A massive thank you to all the community members who came to help and clear as much litter as we could! Although a successful day, we hope we don’t have to conduct any more litter picks!
Please look after our village (and your village, wherever you are reading from) and put your litter in the bin and help us be proud of our area!
