Management Objectives 1. To develop resilience to climate change and optimise carbon capture. 2. To optimise productive potential of the land, for construction quality timber and other products for local and national markets. 3. Increase the structural diversity of the forest. 4. Manage the landscape associated with visitor zones to maintain a welcoming and accessible forest environment. 5. Continue to develop permanent woodland and other habitats for a variety of species, including red squirrel and raptors. 6. Protect the historical and archaeological heritage of the forest. Critical Success Factors Achieve clearfell and thinning programme to contribute to the Region’s sustainable timber production targets; Carry out timely thinning and CCF interventions; Successfully restock challenging sites with poor, nutrient deficient soils; Successfully establish native broadleaves in riparian zones; Protect broadleaves and ‘soft’ conifers from deer browsing damage; 5 | Newcastleton LMP | John Ogilvie | February 2020 1.2 Summary of planned operations Table 1 Summary of Operations over the Plan Period Clear felling 431.6 ha Thinning 291.6 ha Restocking 570.0 ha Afforestation 0 ha Deforestation 0 ha Forest roads 200 m Forestry quarries 0 ha The forest is managed to the UK Woodland Assurance Standard – the standard endorsed in the UK by the Forest Stewardship Council and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. Forestry and Land Scotland is independently audited to ensure that we are delivering sustainable forest management. 2.0 Analysis and Concept The planning process was informed by collecting information about the woodland, which is presented in Appendix I. During the development of this plan we have consulted with the local community and other key stakeholders, and a Consultation Record is presented in Appendix III. The plan’s objectives were analysed against the constraints and opportunities identified during scoping and consultation. Preferred options were then chosen for delivering the objectives, and these proposals are summarised on the Analysis and Concept map (Map 2). 3.0 Management Proposals - regulatory requirements 3.1 Designations The plan area forms part of, includes, or is covered by the following designations and significant features.

Thinning will normally be carried out at, or below, the level of marginal thinning intensity (i.e. removing no more than 70% of the maximum MAI, or YC, per year). Higher intensities (no more than 140 % of maximum MAI, or YC, per year) may be applied where thinning has been delayed, larger tree sizes are being sought or as part of a LISS prescription. In all cases work plans will define the detailed thinning prescription before work is carried out and operations will be monitored by checking pre and post thinning basal areas for the key crop components. The thin years and net areas listed in the table are provisional and may be adjusted once pre- thinning assessment has been carried out.

The aim is to encourage local people to become involved in ensuring that what matters to them – their ideas and priorities – are identified and can be acted upon. The Arthuret and Kirkandrews on Esk Community Plan is based upon finding out what you value in your community. Then, based upon the process of consultation, debate and dialogue, producing an Action Plan to achieve the aspirations of local people for the community you live and work in. The consultation process took several forms including open days, questionnaires, workshops, focus group meetings, even a business speed dating event. The process was interesting, lively and passionate, but extremely important and valuable in determining the vision that you have for your community. The information gathered was then collated and produced in the following Arthuret and Kirkandrews on Esk Community Plan. The Action Plan aims to show a balanced view point by addressing the issues that you want to be resolved and celebrating the successes we have achieved. It contains a range of priorities from those which are aspirational to those that can be delivered with a few practical steps which will improve life in our community.

  • Kirkandrews on Esk: Introduction1
    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Work in Progress Interim Draft [Note: This is an incomplete, interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/] Parish/township: KIRKANDREWS ON ESK Author: Fay V. Winkworth Date of draft: January 2013 KIRKANDREWS ON ESK: INTRODUCTION1 1. Description and location Kirkandrews on Esk is a large rural, sparsely populated parish in the north west of Cumbria bordering on Scotland. It extends nearly 10 miles in a north-east direction from the Solway Firth, with an average breadth of 3 miles. It comprised 10,891 acres (4,407 ha) in 1864 2 and 11,124 acres (4,502 ha) in 1938. 3 Originally part of the barony of Liddel, its history is closely linked with the neighbouring parish of Arthuret. The nearest town is Longtown (just across the River Esk in Arthuret parish). Kirkandrews on Esk, named after the church of St. Andrews 4, lies about 11 miles north of Carlisle. This parish is separated from Scotland by the rivers Sark and Liddel as well as the Scotsdike, a mound of earth erected in 1552 to divide the English Debatable lands from the Scottish. It is bounded on the south and east by Arthuret and Rockcliffe parishes and on the north east by Nicholforest, formerly a chapelry within Kirkandrews which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1744. The border with Arthuret is marked by the River Esk and the Carwinley burn. 1 The author thanks the following for their assistance during the preparation of this article: Ian Winkworth, Richard Brockington, William Bundred, Chairman of Kirkandrews Parish Council, Gillian Massiah, publicity officer Kirkandrews on Esk church, Ivor Gray and local residents of Kirkandrews on Esk, David Grisenthwaite for his detailed information on buses in this parish; David Bowcock, Tom Robson and the staff of Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle; Stephen White at Carlisle Central Library.

Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

    SETTLEMENT PROFILE NEWCASTLETON This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Newcastleton is located in the upland valley of Liddesdale, on the north bank of the Liddel Water river. It is situated on the B6357, mid-way between Carlisle and Jedburgh, and lies about 21 miles due south of Hawick. The population is 784 (2001 Census). Newcastleton is outside the Central Borders Strategic Development Area as defined in the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Newcastleton is relatively distant from the other settlements in the Scottish Borders and has links with England, particularly Carlisle. Its relative remoteness means that the community is concerned about its relationship to the wider regional land use and development strategies and this is a factor which must be carefully considered in its future planning. The Council wishes to see the extension of the Borders Railway southwards from Galashiels to Carlisle. The indicative line is protected in the Local Development Plan and follows the line of the disused railway along the western edge of Newcastleton. Safeguarding of the route needs to be taken into account when development is proposed in the vicinity. The unique character of Newcastleton is established by its formal street layout with a central square and two secondary squares. It is considered to be the best example of a late 18th century planned village in the Borders and the majority of the settlement is designated as a Conservation Area. Newcastleton has a distinct grid iron layout and displays distinct building styles and architectural details. The designs for any new development should seek to respect the character of individual buildings and the wider Conservation Area.
