Thank You for your help

The Maryburgh Community Woodland Group have now assessed all the responses from the community regarding the Woodland questionnaire. The Woodland Group would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete either the paper or online form. This help will allow us to develop a management plan for the woodland, which we will be working on over the next few months.

The Results

All the questionnaires returned were fed into a database and then the tick box questions 1, 2 and 4 were extracted into a spreadsheet for analysis. Questions 3 and 5 were analysed and uploaded to a Word Cloud to summarise the results.

A total of 48 questionnaires were completed. Paper copies of the questionnaire were distributed around the village and 28 of those were returned. One copy was downloaded from the website and filled in. The other 19 forms were filled in online. The final results are shown below:
