The FM Operations - Lochaber North tender awarded to Terras Forestry Company presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in forestry services.

The successful execution of this tender can enhance forest structures, reduce herbicide use, and help in the establishment and maintenance of forest sites in Lochaber - North, ultimately contributing to sustainable forestry management practices.

## Notice

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. Forestry & Land Scotland (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.
