<br />
We had about 33 people present which was a great turnout for a cold, dark
night.<br />
<br />
We had two excellent talks about tree safety and how community woods work - thanks
to Judith Webb (University of Highlands and Islands) and Jon Hollingdale
(Community Woods Association).<br />
<br />
We gave a summary of progress to date including:<br />

Council had recently agreed to deal with ALL the dangerous trees in the woods.
Thanks were especially noted to Cllr Alasdair Christie for his assistance.</div>

<br />
An update on the new Charity highlighted the opportunities for people to get
involved with the Group – especially as Membership secretary, Volunteer coordinator,
etc. Please contact the email above if interested.<br />
<br />
The AGM for the original Culduthel Woods Group (unincorporated association)
was held and it was agreed to close down the organisation with all the work to
be taken forwards by the charity of the same name. The funds from the older
organisation will all be passed to the new Charity. Minutes of the AGM will be posted
here is due course.<br />
<br />
Membership forms were distributed – we need to develop a strong base of
members. It is only £10 a year to be a member of the organisation which win
time will own/manage such a valuable local asset.<br />
There are options for life and
corporate membership. Membership forms to be posted here soon.<br />

organisations and individuals who had helped us over the last 18 months.</span><br />

<br />
Please note that some tree-felling and branch-removal works are due to start soon on some trees in the woods that are close to paths and pavements. The map at the link below shows the trees that will be tackled (within the shaded area only). These trees are either dead or diseased and are potentially dangerous - they were identified in the survey we undertook late last year (see an earlier blog post below). Replacement trees will be planted in due course.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gamnRE_JB7cEvcE_LC5QjRunceDflfMB" target="_blank">Map: Shaded area shows where tree work will take place</a><br />
<br />
The
work is being commissioned by The Highland Council, supervised by Peter
Kelly (Mob: 07876576643) who is Amenity Officer and undertaken by a firm called Apex. The work will start on 27 November - we have no details about how long it will take. The Council and contractors
are responsible for all safety arrangements. We have advised the IRA and Parent Council. <b>Please follow all on-site instructions and signs and avoid the site when the works are under way.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
It is great that The Highland Council is taking a lead on this essential tree
safety work. However, the
remaining trees identified in our survey as being potentially dangerous are not due not be tackled at this time and we have no immediate plans to do this work -
we do not have funds nor permissions in place to do so. We are still concerned about this issue. <b>Until this further work is undertaken, people are advised to avoid the
woods during periods of high winds in case of falling trees and branches.</b> <br />
<br />
<b>Please come along to our meeting on 10 December at 1930 in the Green Drive Hall</b> to find out more about our long-term plans for the woods and how you can get involved.

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The report from our community engagement exercise that we held during February can be accessed via this </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1l7G5vCcEJCu9vOPsY5il8McMsVGt9VWN" style="font-size: 11pt;" target="_blank">LINK</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Many thanks everyone who got involved - and thanks to the Abriachan Forest Trust for helping us with the work.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The summary highlights from the report are:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -18pt;">We had around 80 people at our “drop-in” event and more than 50 online surveys were completed. So, counting the pupils that were involved in local schools, the Scouts and the local Rotary Club that we engaged with, that means that nearly 200 people were involved overall.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -18pt;">Most people responding used the woods daily (32%) or weekly (31%)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -18pt;">The overall response was VERY positive - 90% of people agreed (29%) or strongly agreed (61%) that we should move to form a community group to own/manage the woods</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -18pt;">Over 80 people were willing to volunteer to help and over 30 to contribute financially</span></li>
</ul>
</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The Management Committee considered the report of all this feedback at a meeting in early March and agreed to move towards forming a charity or similar body. To be clear, we haven’t taken any steps towards owning the woods yet and so the ownership position remains unchanged - no-one owns the woods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Also, guided by the feedback we got from people, we are taking further steps to look the management of the trees that we have had surveyed. There are 43 trees that have been recommended for removal, and 18 trees need remedial work, for example having dangerous branches removed. These are mostly trees near the paths or woodland boundaries which are potentially dangerous. We are having discussions with The Highland Council - and with the former owners of the woods, Tullochs Homes - about how that work might be financed. We will post updates as the situation develops.<o:p></o:p></div>

Thanks again to everyone who gave us their views.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Very many thanks to everyone who came along to our event at the Scout Hut on Saturday. Overall we had nearly 80 people turning up and there was a great deal of information shared and a lot of ideas collected. We had maps, charts, surveys, displays, 3D models - and we had fires outside and made kindling. We had all sort of people there including the Community Council, Sustrans, and the Forestry College and lots of of people who live nearby and use the woods.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what happens now? Well, we are continuing to gather ideas and if you know anyone who wants to contribute, or to help, please urge them to fill out the online survey <u>by 24 Feb </u> at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/QTGSQ9K</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then our team of independent facilitators from Abriachan will collate the information and write up a report for our Management Committee - and we will decide what to do next. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the first projects that the Culduthel Woods Group undertook was to collate all of the available information about ownership of the woods and
commission some legal advice. In summary, we have found out that:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Up until 2002 the woods (probably extending to around 5 to 6 Ha.)
were owned by a company called Tullochs Homes (Culduthel) Ltd. But, in 2002 the company was “dissolved voluntarily”, presumably because they had no further interest in the land.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span></span></span>In Scots law, the title of the land in such
situations falls to the Crown, whose representative in Scotland is a little-known
organisation called “The Queen’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer” or QLTR. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> In 2013/14 the QLTR corresponded with The Highland
Council and the Community Council about the land – but neither organisation was
inclined, or able, to take on ownership of the land. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span></span></span>The QLTR is not obliged to own and manage
any land. In July 2014 they formally disclaimed the land, leaving it technically ownerless. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"></span></span></span>It is important to note that all the trees are
still protected by the Highland Council’s Tree Preservation Order and that it is an
offence for any person to cut or prune a tree without permission.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are still quite few things we don’t know
– we don’t know the exact boundaries of the land in question; and some
of the maps in the earlier title deeds seem to be missing. The Group
are still working to collate this information. Any assistance would be appreciated.</span><br />

No-one can really
manage the woods without the ownership being clear. If there was an owner then
a community group could maybe lease the land, or manage it by agreement – but no-one owns
the land at present. Looking forwards there are two broad options: </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

through to claim ownership on behalf of the community – but that will take some
time and money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need to know if there
is community support to do that.</span></div>

no-one owning the land. But the problems that we have now – with dangerous trees,
litter, broken fences and vandalism – are likely to get worse over time. No-one
would be responsible for taking a lead and sorting them out. </span></div>

We thought the Group would help bring those </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">people </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">who were interested </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">together </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">to consider how to look after and to manage the woods. </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #282800; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Second, there had been repeated concerns expressed to the Community Council and to Highland Councillors over the last few years about the condition of the woods. There were problems with litter, vadalism to trees and a general sense of neglect. People were worried that some of the trees weren't safe. And it wasn't clear who owned the woods or who was responsible for what. We thought the Group could look into these issues and chart out a way forwards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Finally, the Community Council had been successful in raising some money from the Highland Council to help get us started. So, following an open community meeting in February 2018 there was a call for volunteers and the Group was formed with a simple constitution and bank account, free membership </span><span style="color: #282800; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">open to anyone in the communty and a small Management Committee. Support and advice was also provided by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Community Woods Association. </span></span></div>
