Culbin Forest and Culbin Sands Nature Reserve car park sign
This Information sign along with quite number of others was mounted informally on the inside wall of a management shed in Newton Nursery. These obsolete signs had been removed from the various forest locations and perhaps used to brighten up an otherwise dull wooden wall. The colours have faded somewhat and the shed roof lights have added another colour variation.
It is difficult to date the sign but it features the Forestry Commission and Forest Enterprise names and two tree symbols possibly indicating that this was produced shortly after the decision around 1992 to publicise more strongly the role of Forest Enterprise as managers of the national forest areas. Any information would be very welcome. The vast majority of Forestry Commission and Forest Enterprise signs were drawn up by Forest Design and Interpretation Services based in Silvan House, Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh.
This was a collaborative project between RSPB, Nairn Seafront Tourism Management Programme and Forest Enterprise (Forestry Commission) to provide visitor information at the car park on the RSPB Reserve. The car park is located about 400metres west of Culbin Forest .
