Tarmac produce crushed rock at Park Quarry which is less than a kilometre from Laikenbuie. They have given 100 tons of material to improve the 4km of footpaths and tracks on the Trust’s grounds. Their partnership with Laikenbuie Ecology Trust will make access easier, safer and more accessible to visitors who come to see the increasing biodiversity, and for the quiet enjoyment of nature. The Trust is very grateful to Tarmac, and Calum their local manager, for their support and providing the first commercial sponsorship.
A small start has been made using 10T of Type 1 to patch the wet parts of the track through the Birchwood. This now needs rolling, and it is hoped that with time vegetation growth will make it green.
