Community Woodland

We hope to be able to start planting trees next winter. However with escalating costs now, the forestry grant funding would not cover the outlay, so we cannot start planting the big field until we have raised enough funding to cover the shortfall.

Meanwhile, with the help of community volunteers and the Woodland Trust, five hundred trees have already been planted in a smaller field beside the Slains Kirk building.  Work has been done to unblock an old culvert so as to solve the flooding problem from St Ternan’s Well in one part of the field, and wild grass and flower seed has been sown to cover the earth following the work on the drain. Volunteers have been doing bio-diversity surveys there since SEAchange bought the land.
