Blairhouse is a former opencast mine site located in south Fife. The site is approximately 90 hectares. As part of the management of our woodlands we produce land management plans which lay out our management strategy for the next 10 years and beyond at each of our sites. This land management plan for Blairhouse will cover works relating to establishment of new woodland on the former opencast mining ground.
