Gift Allows Charity To Resume Work on Bennachie
Aberdeenshire based offshore service business, OEG Offshore UK Ltd has donated a container to the Bailies of Bennachie, after their previous one was damaged during storm Arwen. The Bailies work parties usually spend hundreds of hours on the hill doing jobs such as maintaining footpaths, improving drainage, re-building dykes and cutting back vegetation. In the last couple of years this has been halted by the COVID pandemic and the storms last autumn. Fallen trees on the original Bailies container caused irreparable damage making it impossible to use.
