**What the charity does:** Our charitable purposes are to create and manage a new Community Woodland on the edge of the town of Dingwall. The woodland will be created with the following specific objectives: •	Carbon sequestration •	Promotion of biodiversity •	Recreational activity •	Education and learning •	Community gathering place •	Green therapy •	Advancement of citizenship through volunteering opportunities We achieve our charitable purposes as follows. Carbon sequestration will naturally result from the process of converting farmland into woodland with a much greater biomass per hectare.  The biodiversity of the area will be increased by the range of habitats created. Recreational activity is already possible on site through volunteer planting and maintenance days, but in the future will increase once the paths are installed- well surfaced and wide enough for prams, wheelchairs, buggies and bikes to ensure social inclusion and eventually joined into the wider Dingwall paths network.
