Do you live on the Argyll Islands and would like to discuss planting native trees or managing an area of woodland? Adam Dawson (Project Officer) is available to offer independent advice, and may be able to make a free initial site survey to assist with species selection to match your site and objectives. He can also offer guidance as to which grant options may be the most appropriate, and put you in contact with local contractors or consultants.

The project is exploring ways to secure jobs and income through our local woodlands and is keen to develop the supply and use of local timber. Woodlands inevitably take many years to develop so the project is investigating maintaining farm incomes and reducing costs by integrating farming and forestry through shelterbelts and agroforestry.
The value of land is increased by improving its potential for sporting opportunities, the capacity for deer stalking, game bird shooting and fishing can all be enhanced through carefully planned woodland creation and management.

Please feel free to contact Adam Dawson to discuss your tree, timber and woodland ideas or questions, and look out for workshops on specific topics advertised in the local press.
