Arran is one of the most accessible and spectacular islands on Scotland’s west coast, under an hour from the mainland and less than two hours from Glasgow, with a wealth of wildlife. The Isle of Arran Wildlife Festival aims to encourage visitors to enjoy this wildlife in a sustainable way.

We are pleased to announce that Arran will host another exciting programme of wildlife events from 14th to 21st May 2008.
A full programme can now be seen by clicking on the 2008 link on the right. We hope you will agree that this year’s programme includes some really exciting new events as well as some of the most popular activities from previous years.
Arran’s wildlife is very special and our aim is to help people enjoy it without impacting on the wildlife itself. This year we are particularly pleased to be able to include events where you can help us make a difference – why not come along to the Adopt A Beach workshop or Rhododendron Bash to do your bit?
Not everyone will want to get their hands dirty but that doesn’t mean you can’t contribute to helping Arran’s wildlife. This year we have introduced a central booking line and for each place booked there will be a small charge – two thirds of this money will be used directly to fund conservation work on Arran. Updates on the projects will be posted here later in the year.
We look forward to seeing you in May!
If you have any questions on the festival please the festival coordinator Lucy Gibbons by emailing eider@hotmail.co.uk
