Working for the FC is it worth the hassle

[gnfencer]

When I worked for the fc, there was kincardine, Buchan, and moray fd's

 

They were merged into Aberdeenshire and moray.

 

I would expect Grampian or north east fd to be the next step.

Though they are selling off any unused equipment and plant, to raise cash.

The whole commission is very strange when i started there harvesting was the be all and end all, then recreation took over money was thrown at it the recreation got its own squad, any ant equipment wanted was bought the squad had use of a credit card with a £ million limit, I kid you not.

Whilst the fm squad was left to get by on scraps.

 

We spent months planting, staking and tubing hardwoods,

Which were then ignored and neglected, then all those tubes were removed and disposed of and replaced by fencing, how th at can be cost effective beggars belief.

The local FC office here has to send their people up to Scotland for PA training. It's not like there is a shortage of local providers either.
