Skipness Woodlands 'Skipness Woodlands' aims to improve the woodlands on Skipness Estate, preserve it's natural heritage for the future and open it up to visitors

'Skipness Woodlands' is working towards establishing a number of small ecologically minded enterprises that can reinvigorate the local economy, impact positively on the environment and open up this beautiful area to those who may appreciate it. Rupert has been given stewardship of the 55 hectares of mixed use woodland on the estate and is working to establish a wood fuel business selling firewood,

charcoal and kindling locally. Some wood will be sold for timber and some milled on site for construction. A wood-shop is being restored for the fabrication of valuable products and a bothy conversion project underway. Ultimately we hope to build off-grid log cabins from the standing pine and to erect rental yurts along the cost. We are also building kitchen gardens and establishing a bee colony as well as clearing way-marked walks and culling invasive species.

I am looking for a (paid) lift from the Continent to Britain anytime in August or the start of September. Traveling with my wee dog, so flying is not an option. If anyone knows of anyone taking a ferry to Britain who would like an extra paying passenger, please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!! THANKSSS!!
