About

Lochcarron Community Development Company (LCDC) have commissioned Wester Ross Biosphere and UHI Perth to research into the feasibility of a digital woodland experience at Kirkton Woodland. This would involve site-based interpretation linked with augmented reality technology to visualise how the woodland has looked over time and could look in the future. The digital woodland would be an opportunity to learn more about a range of themes and would be tailored for use by the local community, as well as educators from schools and universities. It is likely that the digital woodland would also be of interest to tourists, and could represent a form of scientific tourism or eco-tourism. The aim of this survey is to gauge views from people living around Lochcarron. 

A summary of responses will be included in a short report which will be available to the community at the end of March. All responses will be anonymised. If you have any questions about this survey or would like to speak to the research team, please contact south@wrb.scot or zoe.russell.perth@uhi.ac.uk.
