The exciting new Elm Action Map (TEAM) project AND Mandy Haggith’s book launch happening jointly on the 9th August 2025 at the White Shore, Culag Woods at midday.
A bit more about our new project: The Elm Action Map. Thanks to our friends at St Andrews University we’ve been successful in getting some funding to support some more elm-related activity here over the coming year. This will include a Dutch elm disease workshop to learn how to better protect and understand more about tree health. We also plan to make an interactive story map which will bring to life our beautiful local elms.
This Launch event is a continuation of the Assynt Elm Project. Come along and find out more. BBQ with venison and veggie burgers at the white shore and lots of Elm related info/activities. Starts at 12noon on the 9th August. Mandy Haggith will be launching her new book ‘The Lost Elms.’
