Tree harvesting

Added on 04 June 2017

The slopes of Ben Lora have been used for growing trees for their timber over many decades . Swathes have now reached maturity and are being harvested. Since the larch and fir trees have been 'gathered in' from the hill side behind St Modan's, the view has changed.

 

Now.....                                       and then.

The Forestry Commission's current plan is to leave the cleared areas to regenerate naturally.
