The three Contract Opportunities are:
a) Coastal Woodlands – Research Consolidation (Value £5,000)
b) Coastal Woodlands – Seed Collection + Tree Growing (Value £7,500)
c) Coastal Woodlands – Artisan Products + Skills – (Value £7,500)
All three contracts are being let by, and will be managed by, Dumfries & Galloway Woodlands.
McNabb Laurie, D&G Woodlands Manager said:
“SCAMP is an opportunity to better understand, protect, celebrate and harness the special properties of our Coastal Woodlands!
2026 is when we can develop the projects that can be delivered over the subsequent 8 years. The three contracts we are advertising now will increase our understanding of recent research into Coastal Woodlands, explore potential for woodland creation and how we can best harness the economic opportunities offered. If you might be interested in helping us out, please do get in touch.”
