Quote from Participating Organisation
Dougie Baird, Trust Manager, Cairngorms Outdoors Access Trust:
“This is tremendous support from the Rural Aberdeenshire LEADER programme and enables us to further our work on Community Path Networks at Tarland. The grant will be used to construct the first all-abilities path in the Tarland network at Alastrean Woods, providing much needed access for locals and visitors alike, as well as to improve access on the Drummy path. We intend to start construction early in the New Year and to complete the work before the end of March.”
