What People Say About Us
Scottish Institute for Enterprise Business Plan Awards:
In March 2007, New Caledonian Woodlands achieved a ‘highly commended’ award in the Scottish Institute for Enterprise Business Plan Award, beating off competition for over 1,000 entries to be placed 3rd.
“New Caledonian Woodlands really impressed the judges at our business competition with their vision, creativity and professionalism. It promises to be a fantastic example of a company working with their community and strengthening it through both education and practical projects to materially make a difference to the environment.”
Jenny Murdoch, Scottish Institute for Enterprise
The Caledonian Team Challenge:
“In May this year our team enjoyed a brilliant Away Day at Broomlee Centre organised by Andy Ross of New Caledonian Woodlands. The day offered everything we were looking for in the Away Day - an outdoor activity helping us to bond and work as a team, and giving the satisfaction at the end of the day of having completed the task in hand. We were all extremely proud of our achievements and of how different the area we had cleared and replanted finally looked. The organisation of the day was faultless and Andy steered us unobtrusively through the day, giving guidance and the benefit of his knowledge where necessary. All in all, what appeared initially to be a daunting task, turned out to be great fun and a good team building experience which we still reminisce about today.”
Briana Taylor, Ernst & Young
“In addition to the education and awareness raising, New Caledonian Woodlands has demonstrated its ability to deliver a professional and reliable service which in turn has brought significant investment from the private sector into biodiversity projects.”

The Caledonian Biodiversity Weekend:
“Mud; midges; sleeping on a village hall floor; bruises; hard work; beautiful scenery; good company. Best stress relief I’ve had in a long time!”
Kate Carter
“I would recommend a weekend with New Caledonian Woodlands. Fresh air, exercise, a chance to meet new people and see unspoilt parts of Scotland at very little cost - not to mention the satisfaction of feeling you've made a tangible difference. And the sun even shone!”
