Finance for the work was secured from different sources such as Argyll and the Islands Enterprise, Scottish Natural Heritage, Argyll and Bute Council and the private sector. The largest project to date is at Bridge of Orchy where an area of land used for depositing unwanted road materials and an unsightly mess, has been transformed. The Bridge of Orchy lies in a natural basin of outstanding scenery. Adjacent is the River Orchy, which, in the winter, attracts white water rafters and canoeists, and the Glen Orchy forest with its cycle paths and walking routes.
Mountains surround the area and they appeal to climbers and hill walkers all year round.
All this activity means motor vehicles and emergency situations. Management of vehicles in areas such as this is crucial and it is important that sporting participants leave vehicles in a central supervised area and leave information as to their likely whereabouts. Similarly, in the event of an incident necessitating a location for the emergency services it is essential that they have a facility where they can rendezvous and use as an incident centre.
