In total 14 community groups visited the woodland sites to exchange knowledge and ideas.

Learning Outcomes

  • Outdoor learning for sustainability: how to deliver to different ages and stages to ensure participants have a real sense of achievement and ownership of their woodland.
  • Sharing approaches to meadow management and removal of invasive species.
  • Looking after archaeological and historical sites.
  • Future planning and diversification.

“It was good to hear how you have dealt with and are overcoming similar challenges to those we have at Dunnet. Your site is beautiful – the care and attention to future planning was a joy to hear. It was really interesting to hear about meadow management and the type of machinery to invest in- definitely information that I will be taking back to Dunnet.”
