Access

Access to Fasach Forest is taken directly from the A897, which is designated as a Consultation Route for timber transport. From the public road, a shared forest access route, identified as A1–A2 on the Sale Plan, extends approximately 6.6 kilometres to the property.

Maintenance of the shared access route is undertaken on a user basis.

The access infrastructure has previously been utilised successfully for timber extraction, with both the shared forest road and the A897 demonstrating their suitability for supporting ongoing commercial forestry operations.

Description

Fasach Forest is a commercial conifer forest, originally established in the mid-1980s. The crop is predominantly composed of Sitka spruce and Lodgepole pine, with the latter intended to serve as a self-thinning nurse crop.

These crops are approaching a mature stage and offer potential for future timber production, subject to appropriate silvicultural management and market conditions.

46.15 hectares of the property comprises open ground, in addition, 41.96 hectares are recorded as felled with no current restocking obligation, providing flexibility for future land use opportunities, habitat enhancement, or alternative land management objectives, subject to the necessary consents.

Overall, Fasach Forest presents a diverse forestry asset with established conifer crops, areas available for future management decisions, and opportunities to shape the long-term character and productivity of the property.
