Janic Schulte, Education Guide with the Wicklow National Parks and Wildlife Service, will introduce us to this woodland habitat.

Description:    "Meet the Trees"

The Deputy's Pass (47 hectare) nature reserve is notable in Wicklow for its pockets of native trees, in particular Irish Oaks. Our route will follow forest roads and tracks through mixed woodland. Janic joins us for one section of the walk. We will seek out flora and fauna, common to this woodland habitat in the Autumn. There is the opportunity to learn about the Wicklow National Park and Wildlife Service's continuous woodland management strategy for this nature reserve. 

We will also follow the old Black Road to continue through mixed woodland, with glimpses over pastureland and across the Glenealy valley to Carrick Mountain. 
Terrain & River Crossings. Forest roads, some stony tracks and some muddy forest paths. No river crossings. 


Gear Recommendations : Usual layers and waterproofs.
