Orchid Custodians
We are fortunate in the park to have one of the best displays of Greater Butterfly Orchids (Platanthera chlorantha) nationally. This plant with its lovely vanilla coloured flower spikes grows in old meadows and other unimproved grasslands and during the months of June and July appear in the in large numbers. During July we held two successful orchid events which were both quite different but closely related.

Easter Fun Day
Easter Sunday was a fun day in Plean
Country Park. The Friends Group organised an Easter Trail which proved really popular. So much so that it took us by surprise and unfortunately a few were disappointed when the eggs ran out temporarily. Definately a lesson learned for next year.We hope it did not spoil the day too much for the children.The fun continued as the egg decorating and Easter Bonnet competition got under way with a large number of entries. A huge amount of effort had gone into both decorating the eggs and creating the hats. This made the judging a very difficult task.
AGM 2012
The first AGM of the Friends of Plean Country Park took place in the Park on 8th May 2012 at 7:00 in the evening.
It was a fine evening, if rather cold, and the excellent barbecue prior to the meeting was much appreciated.
