SLEAT Community Trust has been awarded £20,000 for the Tormore Forest renewal project, thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
Tormore Forest is being felled in controlled stages under local ownership by the Sleat Community Trust but now, thanks to funding from Postcode Local Trust, volunteers will soon be able to grow new tree stock for the forest in their own tree nursery.
A path network for walking and cycling is also planned and research into the history, archaeology and environment of the forest is set to create information and interpretive boards for everyone to enjoy.
