Update November/ December 2025
On Friday 21 st November we held a well-attended exhibition in the Village Hall entitled Denholm Dean – Past, Present and Future.
The Past showed old maps, photos and excerpts from Cavers estate records. The Present included pre and post felling on this webpage and work done by volunteers.
The Future highlighted the 10 Year Plan recently prepared by the Dean Committee – shown below. If you would like to see all the maps and appendices please send an email to deanvolunteers@btinternet.com
Photographs of the displays are can be seen HERE.
Recordings have been made of villagers’ recollections of their childhood spent in the Dean. Follow this link to hear them.
Those who attended the Display were asked to fill in a questionnaire to say what ideas they had for the Lower Dean. The Questionnaire below may be completed on line and returned to the Post Office or to deanvolunteers@btinternet.com by 29th December.
A summary of the questionnaire responses will be published on the website in January.
We will start planting Zone 1 on 16 th December with the help of Borders Forest Trust volunteers and Border Rotarians who donated the saplings for this zone.
