Overview

The plan is to join the Garioch 50+ group and do work maintenance work on the Gordon Way - mainly cutting back vegetation.

We will be supported by Aberdeenshire Council’s Countryside Ranger for the Garioch Area, Alison Sutherland, who will provide all the equipment.  If you would prefer to use your own tools or gardening gloves then please bring them along.

We will meet at the Bennachie Visitor Centre where the Ranger will do the necessary introductions.  The Ranger will then transport the tools, rucksacks, etc, up to the area where we will do the work.  We will walk up and meet her there.   Everyone will then collect the equipment and walk to the section that requires the work.  The estimated finish time (return to the Bennachie Centre) will be approximately 4pm but people can leave earlier if they wish to.
