Lot 1 Lendrick Forest – 206.60 Hectares / 510.41 Acres
Lendrick Forest comprises the larger and more mature forest of the two. It is a simple, compact shape mainly planted during 1991 and 1992 covering Myrehaugh Hill and the northerly shoulder of Lendrick Hill providing consistent gentle inclines facilitating drainage. A further seven hectares was planted in 2021. The crops are performing well with the best stands showing Yield Classes in the high 20s, highlighting the favourable growing conditions of the area. The forest was principally planted with Sitka spruce which comprises 72% of the stocked conifer area. Douglas fir comprises 22% with additional small areas of Norway spruce, Scots pine and Japanese larch. Native broadleaves extend to 5% of the total planted area. The summary chart below
indicates the breakdown of areas by species.

The oldest trees are now 33 years old and felling is possible in the next few years or longer if needed, giving a new owner flexibility in playing the timber markets. Considerable additional volumes of timber per hectare are anticipated in the crops’ final phase of growth.

Lot 2 Fossoway Forest – 94.77 Hectares / 234.17 Acres
Fossoway adjoins Lendrick on its southern boundary. The land was purchased by the current owners and a new commercial forestry planting scheme undertaken in 2017. Sitka spruce comprises 82% of the stocked conifer area, complimented with smaller areas of Douglas fir, Norway spruce and Scots pine. Native broadleaves account for 8.5% of the total planted area. The full breakdown is illustrated in the chart below. Considerable effort was applied to ensure high percentage establishment, combined with exceedingly encouraging initial growth rates it is anticipated that the forest will produce large volumes of high-quality timber in the future.

A recent survey suggests potential for a single 4-4.45 MW wind turbine on Lot 2 with a second turbine on adjoining land owned by a third party. An alternative access from the south is proposed. Further information from GOLDCREST Land & Forestry Group.
