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.
