Culduthel Woods work to start

This map shows felling and tree works that Highland Council are arranging very soon.

The work is being updertaken by a firm called Apex and supervised by Highland Council. The work may start as soon as the week commencing 25 November.. The Council and contractors are responsible for all safety arrangements, but parents and children are advised to avoid the woods and to take care. 
The Highland Council is taking a lead on this essential tree safety work close to paths and pavements but some remaining trees have been identified as potentially dangerous and can not be tackled until the Culduthel Woods Group have the necessary funds so residents should be aware of the situation and avoid the woods in high winds.

The Culduthel Woods Group is holding a meeting on 10th December: please see the details below.

Dear members, friends and supporters,

Please come along to an open community meeting (which includes a short AGM) of the Culduthel Woods Group on Tuesday 10 December at 1930 at the Green Drive Hall.

 

We have arranged for two excellent speakers:

 

“Tree safety and woodland management” 

– Judith Webb MBE, UHI Scottish School of Forestry

 

“How community woods work in the North of Scotland” 

– Jon Hollingdale, Community Woods Association

 

And also:

• Hear more about the work of the Culduthel Woods Group over the last year to secure a better future for Culduthel Woods.
• Consider the proposals for the year ahead, including some felling of dangerous trees,  the development of a management plan and the start of a volunteer work programme.Help launch our new charitable organisation and find out about opportunities to get involved.
• As part of the AGM we will consider the proposal to dissolve our current unincorporated organisation which will require a vote by members.  The work programme will then be taken forwards by the new charity with the same name - Culduthel Woods Group

There will be tea/coffee at the end of the meeting!

 

We look forward to seeing you there.  To help us plan the event, please let us know if you are coming along by replying to culduthelwoods@gmail.com. 

Lastly, please share this message with anyone you think might be interested!

Many thanks,

Jon den Tieter
