White Wood Fund

Deveron Arts and Networks of Wellbeing are offering grants of up to £200 to Huntly/AB54 community organisations and individuals to create an event or stage an activity in the White Wood on 28 May 2016.

The White Wood was planted by the community of Huntly in March 2015. It is located in the Bin Forest and is home to 49 oak trees, over 700 native trees and another 1000 of plants and herbs which will flower in white. The White Wood was planted in commemoration of WWI, as a space of remembrance, reflection and regrowth.

The wood will officially be opened on 28 May during a day of celebration and events.  A day of all things art, peace and ecology. The official opening ceremony of the White Wood will be conducted by Alex Salmond, MP. Get involved by creating an event or activity for the White Wood opening that represents your community organisation. Funding can be used to schedule a one-off event involving community participation, or an all-day happening such as a stall or intervention.
