BUILDING THE SHELTER 2018-19
This is our first major building project since the erection of the cabin and verandah in 2014. The idea is to create a sheltered space in the Mag's Wood area to encourage groups to make increased use of this end of the wood. The project is deisgned as a training project led by round wood builder Henry Fobrooke. The main funding is from Forestry Commission Scotland but has received generous support in cash, kind, expertise and time from a wide range of local supporters. See Funders
