With the help of Karen Green, joint managing director of Dynam, and with cash prizes donated by Hannah and Scott Saw, owners of the Cottage Bar, the final decision was made.
The winning entry, awarded £50, was from Rory Jack. Second prize of £30 was for Hugo Ross and the third prize of £20 went to Flora MacRae.
Each of the winners also received a presentation board depicting their entry, gifted by Karen Green. Dynam, Branding and Marketing Agency donated their time and expertise to remaster the logo.
The logo will now be used in all materials relating to the Maryburgh Community Woodland.
In November 2022, Maryburgh Amenities Company (MAC) successfully purchased the woods between Birch Drive and Dunglass Road to retain it for the community.
MAC set up a committee, Maryburgh Community Woodland Group, which will be responsible for the woods going forward.
Local ward councillor Angela MacLean said at the time: “Every one of us in the village are now custodians of this land for future generations and each of us will have a part to play in the sustainability of the woodlands.
“We all have skills which could benefit the project and I would encourage anyone with an interest to get in touch. Other community woodland groups have already reached out to offer help and advice."
