ECO-PROJECTS
The ‘Orchards and Wild Harvest Project’ (managed by South West Community Woodlands Trust) aims to:
1) facilitate the planting of a minimum of 1000 fruit & nut trees in Dumfries and Galloway over the next two years;
2) encourage the people of Dumfries and Galloway to plant and eat locally grown fruit and nuts to promote health and wellbeing, enhance local biodiversity and reduce carbon emissions;
3) celebrate the seasons by helping people hold local blossom and fruit events throughout the region at food events, farmers’ markets and country fairs;
4) run orchard tours, juicing and tasting sessions, storytelling sessions and cookery demonstrations, linking up with local jam-makers and wine producers.
The photo shows members of the Kirkcudbright Academy Rural Crafts group planting an apple, cherry, plum and pear tree as well as a blueberry bush in their school garden. The Orchards and Wild Harvest Project will also help in the mapping of existing fruit trees and orchards and collect information on varieties that do well in Dumfries and Galloway.
The project is funded by people buying a tree for the project, perhaps as a present or a memorial.
If you want to be involved or donate a tree; if you know of an area of land that would benefit from fruit and nut trees; if you have information about ancient orchards, new orchards, or specific varieties, please contact Jools Cox, 100A Queen Street, Castle Douglas DG7 1EH

GREEN BURIAL
Roucan Loch is set in many acres of gently undulating country, surrounded by a mature Scots Pine wood, completely hidden from any road, yet just over three miles from Dumfries. The serene site, overlooking tranquil waters with abundant wildlife, birdsong and panoramic views, offers the ideal setting for contemplation.Roucan Loch Green Burial Site is the first green burial site in the country that has been pre-planned and planted with native trees, including Scots Pine, rowan and birch. The secluded site offers a natural final resting place, an oasis of stillness and calm. It is in effect a nature reserve, providing peace of mind for the family, as the site will remain a protected natural environment in perpetuity.
The beauty of Nature is timeless. Roucan Loch is an inspirational setting, providing a true sense of creating life from death.
You are invited to view this unique Green Burial Site at weekends between 10am and 4pm. No appointment is necessary. You are free to experience for yourself the beauty of this site, just off the A709 Dumfries to Lockerbie road, sign-posted ‘Roucan Loch’.
A green burial is similar to burial in a cemetery; the difference is that a tree becomes the living memorial instead of a traditional headstone. At Roucan Loch it is possible to pre-purchase your plot and tree. Full details from William Jardine, Tel. 01387 253518.
Office hours 8am–5pm.
HEALTH PRODUCTS & ECO PRODUCTS
The BareNaked Soap Company is a new venture run by a mother and daughter who were tired of never being able to find a truly kind bar of soap. So they decided to make their own. And to do it better, using only the purest, gentlest, most natural ingredients and adding nothing solely for its cosmetic value. Their philosophy is to make soaps as 'naked' as possible (hence the name) but, with an eye for honest luxury, they also aim to make the most beautiful, luxurious bar possible from the finest ingredients available.
There is nothing unnecessary added – every ingredient is there for a purpose. All soaps, bath and body products are handmade at their little farm in the Galloway Hills, Southwest Scotland. E: info@barenakedsoap.co.uk T: 01644 460 673 M: 07727 127 997 www.barenakedsoap.co.uk

PERSONAL GROWTH
Find out more about yourself and how you relate to the world and other people with Erica Donnison (MBTI Practitioner).I work with you using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) psychological personality questionnaire to help you understand yourself and others better. Why do we immediately get on better with some people than others and how can I make difficult relationships easier? How do I relate to the world and how is that different from other people? The feedback session helps you find the answers to these questions and many more. I work with you to help you become more aware of how people differ from each other and how you can use this new information to ease difficult relationships at home or at work. If you sometimes feel like a square peg in a round hole at work, we can also look at your career choices and the type of work you might be more comfortable doing.
