Notice Title

FM Operations - West Region - North Argyll

Notice Description

Rapid planting of a felled site can minimise weed growth (and hence reduce herbicide use) and the loss of nutrients / sediment from sites which may be needed to help improve the forest structure. FLS therefore require the planting programme including Restock and Beat-up and maintenance operations required to establish sites, excluding fencing, deer management and ground preparation. FLS may on occasion require the Service Provider to plant on sites pre-final felling (i.e. underplanting) or on sites without previous tree cover. This will be agreed with the Service Provider when setting out the annual programme.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Up to an average of 150ha restock and 395ha of beat-up a year with maintenance and ground seed collection.
