A consultation has begun about the plans to plant trees on the John Buchan Way. Photo: Hammerhead in Broughton by Liz Hanson PROPOSALS to plant trees in a National Scenic Area in the Borders have been met with opposition from locals. The plans for Peeblesshire s John Buchan Way involve afforestation across 175 hectares, mainly for commercial purposes to produce timber, while native broadleaves will also be planted. The new woodland creation would be set “within the property at Broughton Hope” and would see trees planted in one of the Borders two National Scenic Areas. With the consultation process having started, Broughton Community Council was contacted by RDS Forestry, leading to opposition from the community.
