Glenmore land management plan
- Date: 10th November 2021
- Time: 5pm until 6.30pm
- Location: Kilmelford Village Hall
Glenmore land management plan (LMP) covers the Glenmore Farm land acquisition which was completed in 2012. It is 334 ha and lies just to the south of Kilmelford on the west coast, adjacent to the A816, in Argyll & Bute local authority. There was a previously approved LMP, however, due to changing priorities and objectives within Scottish Government and Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), we wish to create a native forest and further protect priority habitats, removing the productive conifer aspect. The proposals will include the following species/areas, which includes both existing and planted aspects:
Species | Area (ha) |
---|---|
Ash | 1 |
Aspen | 1 |
Birch (downy/silver) | 4 |
Goat willow | 0.1 |
Mixed broadleaves | 75 |
Oak (robur/petrea) | 5 |
Rowan | 0.1 |
Scots pine | 6 |
Sessile oak | 0.3 |
Priority habitat | 238 |
Open | 3 |
Total area (ha) | 334 |
Objectives
Our objectives for the Glenmore area:
- Establish a native woodland
- Restore and maintain priority habitat areas
- Protect and enhance ancient woodland areas, providing linkages between
