A practical day event exploring the benefits of planting and managing trees on your land, including the chance to have a go at planting. Includes:

• Visit to Tulluch Tea croft (225) to look at planting trees and hedges for better land management
• Visit to Migdale Woods to find out how to get more out of the trees you have
• Hands-on planting demonstration
• Funding information from Forestry Commission Scotland and the Woodland Trust Scotland

This event is an opportunity for everyone to get the most up to date leaflets from activity providers, menus from cafes and restaurants all on one day in one place. Providing good information to visitors encourages them to stay in the area longer and improves their customer experiences leading to better reviews. It’s a Win Win.

This is a ‘Leaflet Exchange’, based on the Round about Gairloch event of previous years but a wider reach to encompass Wester Ross. Remember visitors to the area move in both directions south to north or vice versa.
