Re-planting a felled site possibly at Bennachie Forest circa 1980
The image is courtesy of John Thomson, formerly Forest District Manager of Aberdeenshire and Moray Forest District.
It is possible that this photograph was taken somewhere in Bennachie Forest as one of the men is featured in the previous image No 6279. They are using the pointed Schlich spades to cut through the branch debris and create a notch the ground in which to insert the roots of the young tree.
Can any of the men be named?
Can the location be identified?
Can the year this photograph was taken be narrowed down?
