Description

Glenkirk Wood – 103.96 Hectares / 256.89 Acres

The conifer crops planted in 1960 are now approaching harvesting stage. The level site provides easy harvesting conditions. To date no Long Term Forest Plan has been created and there are opportunities to agree the next crop composition with Scottish Forestry. It is believed that the Lodgepole pine is likely to be replaced by more productive species, possibly Sitka spruce, and it is expected that the second rotation will produce a higher timber yield. There are some small pockets of windblow which may bring forward harvesting. There is a deer fence enclosing part of the property which will help reduce restocking costs post timber felling. The soils comprise a mixture of alluvial deposits, peat, peaty podzols and mineral soils. The young crops planted in 2014/2016 and are showing variable growth depending on the soil quality.

Nearby fishing is available on the Findhorn which runs close to the property. Glenkirk Wood is attractive and subject to planning, it provides an excellent opportunity for the construction of a cabin/hut.
