Keose Glebe Property for Sale – 4 Keose Glebe
Work on the new Community Playpark begins
After all the fundraising efforts, now the hard work of putting all the equipment together and getting it installed correctly begins. Much thought has been given to how is should be sited, to ensuring safe use, and just to make it fun to use. Any volunteers willing to help in any capacity would be much appreciated.

Keose Glebe – Spring Treeplanting
Around 200 trees have been planted this week, extending the tree-line from the moor road down towards the loch.
This brings the total planted around the village to around 1200, and thankfully almost of these have survived the winter, and are now beginning to bud and to show new growth, despite the cold spring holding things back a little.
The estate have also been awarded a further 420 trees from the Woodland Trust, and these will be delivered for planting later on in the year.
Thank you to the Woodland Trust, the other tree doners, and to the planters and fencers who have made all this possible.
Shoreline Clean-Up
A big thank you to Marine Harvest for their help in supporting the community and tidying up the Keose Glebe coastline in recent days, and particularly that around the bay of Port Eilean Thabhaigh, on the 4th of May.

Village Drainage
Hebridean Housing have started doing some remedial drainage work at the end of the village, and working together with the Keose Glebe Estate and Keose Glebe Grazings, it is hoped that the existing arterial drains and culverts will be cleaned out at the same time.
Lucky2BHere Presentation
Following an Estate meeting, Alister Macdonald presented, on behalf of the Keose Glebe community, a cheque for £100 to Councillor Angus Morrison in support of the Lucky2BHere charity who have placed a defibrillator in the village.
Having this valuable lifesaving equipment here is much appreciated, and we would like to thank both Angus and Lucky2BHere for the tireless work they have undertaken in fundraising, locating and maintaining defibrillators in many places across the islands.
