Aboyne Village Green - Improvement Project

This survey has closed. We are reviewing your feedback.

Aberdeenshire Council is committed to enhancing the well-being of Aboyne residents through the Village Green Improvement Project. We aim to seamlessly integrate environmental enhancements, community engagement, and strategic infrastructure development, fostering a resilient and delightful Aboyne.

The Marr Landscape Services Team is proposing a project to rejuvenate Aboyne Village Green.

The project includes the following elements:

1. Tree Replacement: The team plans to replace old trees with new, high-standard native ones. Eight dead trees will be removed and stamps shredded, while the living trees will be left intact as long as they are thriving. The new avenue of trees will be strategically planted a minimum of 5 meters away from Charlestown Road, parallel to the present ones and 5 meters apart from each other.

2. Avenue Placement: The new trees will be planted next to existing old trees, creating a harmonious blend of the past and future.

3. FloraFleece and Wildflowers: The project involves installing FloraFleece and wildflower perennials over a 320-meter stretch. This will enhance the area's biodiversity, provide a habitat for wildlife, and beautify the park with colours.

Project Timeline: The proposed timeline for this initiative is March/April 2024.

Budget: The project is aligned with the Nature Restoration Fund, a Scottish Government grant, ensuring the budget for materials is secured.

Community Engagement: To ensure the success of this project, we invite the active participation of the Community Council, community groups, schools, and the general public. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of Aboyne.

Together, let's transform Aboyne Village Green into a symbol of natural beauty, community collaboration, and environmental sustainability!
