The Woodland Trust has been considering using barges as a way of transporting felled timber as part of its scheme to restore the ancient Loch Arkaig Pine Forest, writes Mark Entwistle. Spean Bridge, Roy Bridge and Achnacarry Community Council heard on Tuesday night from two trust representatives of the progress being made on the project management plan so far.
Project manager Jessica Maxwell and site manager Steve Morris outlined the challenges ahead for the project, which is being carried out in conjunction with the Arkaig Community Forest (ACF) local charitable organisation.
