Strong Bridges
Bracklin Falls Bridge
Just back from the Community Woodlands Association Conference up in Callander, Perthshire at the weekend. Its great to catch up with folks again. It was a bit quieter than usual I thought, people worried about the cuts and their jobs I suppose. But there are still some guys out their still with the will to live.
Ron Gilchrist was as inspirational as ever ( a worms best friend)  http://www.greenwayconsulting.co.uk  and Helen Pank from the Federation of City Farms and Community gardens was a breath of fresh air http:www.farmgarden.org.uk/scotland. Really interesting stuff about Land Banks!
Michaela Hunter from Kilfinan Community Forest Company had the most recent success story on land acquisition, years of graft and a lot more I suspect.
But the walk up the back woods with John Snodin and Jane Begg was awesome.  Check out Callander Paths walk guide by the Callander Woodland Link Group and goggle at Malcolm Strongs new bridge at Bracklinn Falls FANTASTIC !! see more on his blog http://strongbridges.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
