| Finzean estate undertakes management for capercaillie |
The Heather Trust is delighted to announce that its AGM will
be held this year at Finzean Estate near Banchory on the 1st of
October. Finzean was presented with the Golden Plover Award for Moorland
Management by the Heather Trust and GWCT (Scotland) at the Scottish Game Fair
in July on account of its well-integrated management. The estate runs a number
of different enterprises to a commendably high standard, from forestry and
grouse production to an extremely well-received farm shop, and the various
interests are balanced to complement one another.
The event will be held at Finzean House, with speakers
including Heather Trust Director Simon Thorp, Finzean Estate Partner Andrew
Farquharson and Dick Birnie, a leading consultant on the management of peatland. A limited number of places are still available for the
discussion meeting and subsequent visit to some of the estate’s forestry, where
customised management techniques are being employed to conserve capercaillie in
their last major stronghold on Deeside.
Please contact Anne Stoddart if you would be interested in
