Community/Public Larder Near Dundee

@rab19 How are you going to stop the tags being moved from deer to deer? To me an unmanned facility is a recipe for endless arguments. If there was an option to print out a unique adhesive label as you brought a carcass in, that might work. The larder would need to be registered with the council and someone would need to take responsibility for the carcasses and manage the facility.

There was a presentation at the recent LDNS AGM about apps for managing deer through labels with qr codes on them. Using id fobs to access larders and taking pictures of your carcass once delivered. It all seemed quite a good way to manage the whole thing.

I totally agree, one larder with multiple users is a Complete nightmare but the technology to overcome seems to be almost here or here already. I think they’ll problem will be paying for it with a product that’s already worthless.

The QR code tag stays on the deer and then the deer will go to a AGHE with his own tag attached. That will stop the QR code from being remove and fastened to multiple deer. The chill can be cleaned by a nominated person who would sign a white board to say when it was cleaned last and Receive payment for the job.. Also a trim bin (Stainless ) can be used for any cleaning waist and emptied at the same time. With the new apps and second checks at larder along with returns from AGHE. Things should go ok.

Forestry Co-operation

Forestry Grant Scheme

www.ruralpayments.org

This might be of interest to anyone thinking of undertaking this type of project. It’s a (up to £10,000) co-operation grant that can be used to do the initial admin. There’s a feasibility stage and then a consolidation stage. You would use the feasibility stage to do the initial engagement with landowners or the community and then use the consolidation stage to do the leg work for things like applying for funding to deliver the project or towards getting planning permission for example.

PM me if you want more information/to have a chat about it.

You would need your project to be related to forestry obviously but that’s not usually that difficult. It’s been used a lot for writing deer management plans on a landscape scale.
