Fife's Trees, Woods and Forests

Grass panel - empty no obvious services. Close to car park. Set back from road.   Managed by Growing Kirkcaldy- scope to compliment planting the group have already done.  Few trees in each section - to be symmetrical.  Check root growth won't impact on infrastructure.  Pine for impact/ height/ Rowan for diversity).  

Panel of grass 4.5 - 5 m wide.  Very exposed site. Lighting services running underneath. Potential to break up and give height with tree acting.. Next to carriage way. 

Grass semis circle planted up. Few  trees could add height...open pins so don't shade existing planting. 

Narrow grass strip 4m - issues with lights,  underground services, proximity to road. Exposed site. 

Panel of grass narrowed to 3 metres. Same restrictions re lights, underground services, proximity to road. Much smaller planting  here if appropriate. Road sign needs to be visible. 

Small grass panel. 6x 8m but not square. Set back from road but near car parking area. 

 no 1 - Rowan and elder. 

Larger grass panel- evidence of service. 10 m wide. Most potential for grass panels. 

Trees in gardens. 

Panel of grass. 5m wide. Very exposed to wind.  Next to road and street lights so under ground services may be an issue.  Would have big impact. 

Blank grass panel. No obvious underground services. Near to car parking.  12 m by 6 m

Small grass panel. Evidence of some service- hatch water? 16m x 8 m. 

Narrow panel of grass 3m, issues with proximity to road, lights, underground services. Very exposed sites. Smaller trees or shrubs....

Grass panels outwith gardens. Would compliment garden planting. 

Land owner is Fife Council. Amenity cut grass with several mature trees...London Plain, Beech and Sycamore I think)...no succession planning. One of the few green spaces within the housing scheme which is biodiverse low. Local Nursery, Primary School and ASN Services close by.

When I was a kid I could throw and stone and it would hit a tree- we have lost lots of woodland.  

Plant orchard and create food growing on land opposite Benarty centre 

could have islands of trees here for interest.  

Allotment site or community garden- everyone could access this.  Kids might wreck it though.  I'd like paths in any garden to walk with kids.  Planting for pollinators.   

Put fruit trees on land near Benarty Primary school
