Fife's Trees, Woods and Forests

Bon field Road and lane is the only traffic free walk available to villagers who want to walk out of the village. The lane leads to Blebo Craigs and is a very popular walk for villagers. These trees would be much missed.

St. Andrew's University planted 250 trees in 2022

potential to continue line of trees down from hotel along path

planting 5 alongside path continuing existing tree line

Large area of grass could have more islands of trees for interest - specialist trees.   Very wet area of ground - potential to soak up some of water logging.    Extend out the existing woodland (on slopes down to school) to come out further. Still maintain a path.  Hedge planting along back fence? 

More fruit tree planting  - potential for hedge or more wildflower planting along boundary on right hand side.  Need to check access for construction work for new centre development.  Protect existing trees at the back of Centre.

Bat’s Wood is a volunteer-run charity with the aim of making the most of Bat’s Wood (the left-over playing field land behind Levenmouth Academy, Buckhaven, Fife) and its local environment. Its aims are growing and building in sustainable ways. Firstly, growing a beautiful, biodiverse wood, an orchard and permaculture vegetables for the community and school to use. Secondly, building and managing a mountain bike track for all ages and abilities. Bat’s Wood helps pupils achieve National 4 Rural Skills, John Muir Awards and Personal Development Awards, it give people a real-world project to make their own. Environmental education and outdoor learning has a track record of lowering anxiety and developing confidence, as well as the basic practical skills used in land-based industries such as gardening, drystone dyking, forestry and construction.  https://www.batswood.org.uk/Index.asp?MainID=29264

I run outdoor stay and play groups 'Little Shoots' at the Forgan Arts Centre and this tree is so beautiful and huge that we run our sessions under it. The kids observe how it changes through the seasons and it is much loved by the community

Potential planting to extend existing woodland planting.  Willow, Alder and Hazel - to help with reducing flooding.
