Farigaig
A
hydro scheme has been proposed on land owned and managed by Forest
Enterprise. This would have a devasting effect on paddling on
this river which offers a selection of bedrock drops, slides and
long challenging boulder gardens. Forest Enterprise are aware
of the recreational value of canoeing and have long been supporters
of recreational activity in their forests. They are considering
whether to allow this proposal to proceed on their land. The SCA
will be contacting them to make the case for paddlers, but individuals'
views are also important, and should be sent to Dr Hugh Insley,
Chief Executive, Forest Enterprise Scotland, 1 Highlander Way,
Inverness Business Park, Inverness, IV2 7GB.
