FROM CONCEPT TO COLLECTION

Setting up a community wood recycling project seminar

Wed 1 Feb 2006, The Tolbooth, Jail Wynd, Stirling

This one day seminar covered all aspects of setting up a community wood recycling project. The seminar was delivered by Richard Mehmed, Project Director of the national Community Wood Recycling Project (NCWRP). Prior to setting up NCWRP Richard set up and worked for the award-winning Brighton & Hove Community Wood Recycling Project.

Nearly 50 delegates attended the event coming from the length and breadth of Scotland – from Dumfries in the South, Caithness in the North, Aberdeenshire in the East and Mull, Skye and Lewis in the West. They were treated to a very informative and inspiring seminar and this is what some of them had to say about the day…

“practical not linked to any agenda or strategy – refreshing change“
“enthusiastic – a hero”
“kept the audience on the ball”
“can he talk!”
