National Forest Land Scheme case study Kilfinan Community Forest Company: Acharossan Forest The applicant Kilfinan Community Forest Company (KCFC) is a charitable company limited by guarantee established in 2007 to take forward the community acquisition and development of Acharossan Forest. The community area covers the Kilfinan parish on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and is formally defined using postcode area PA21. The company membership of 200 is drawn from a resident population of just over 700, a considerable decline from a high of over 2000 in the 1950s.

  • Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary

Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations.

Ferry routes run close by from Tarbert to Portavadie, Claonaig to Arran and Kennacraig to Islay. Tarbert is an important tourist hub, with access provision into the forest from the village. The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha. The primary objectives for the plan area are • Economic and sustainable timber production, including windblow clearance. • PAWS restoration. • Development of habitat networks. • Landscape improvement. • Enhancement and protection of Tarbert to Skipness Coast SSSI and Tarbert Woods SAC. • Construction of new forest roads. • Enhancement of the Kintyre Way. • Protection and enhancement water features and water supplies. • Delivery of Deep Peat policy outcomes • Contribution to renewables targets through hydro-scheme construction. • Protection and enhancement of cultural heritage assets. • To

As well as world-class marina facilities, we offer a range of holiday accommodation, restaurants and bars, beauty and wellbeing treatments, shopping and event spaces. Our spa and leisure experience offers an exceptional way to enjoy the views over Loch Fyne at any time of year, making Portavadie the destination of choice for all occasions. Our story is one of a remarkable transformation. We occupy a site which was originally intended to become an oil rig construction facility. Despite extensive work, including the construction of an entire village nearby, it was never used. With a clear vision and a lot of hard work, we turned this blot on the landscape deep in the Scottish Highlands into the secluded oasis that you see today.

  • CWA Annual Conference 2013
    CWA Annual Conference “Community Woodlands - 10 years on” Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Isle of Skye 24th & 25th August 2013 1 Introduction The 14th annual CWA conference took place on 24th & 25th August 2013 at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Sleat, on the Isle of Skye. The weekend was a great success, with 80 delegates from across Scotland, and further afield, making their way to the beautiful Isle of Skye; to network, share experiences and be inspired by a diverse line up of speakers, workshops and interesting site visits. The weekend provided an opportunity for CWA members to explore the roots of our organisation and a platform to look at the pitfalls and success of community groups and how they moulded their own future. To build on the presentation by Knoydart Forest Trust, “Eco-tourism in Community Woodlands”, 10 delegates took the opportunity on Friday afternoon, to visit Knoydart, and to see what they have achieved and hopefully be inspired with ideas to take back to their own community. As a change to the usual programme of events a Green Woodworking demonstration, and opportunity to have a go, was organised and hosted by Mike Ellis, Helmsdale Woodlanders. Bob Fleet from Wooplaw Community Woods also trialled a log sawing competition in advance of the Tweed Valley Forest Festival, Peebles which was held in October 2013. Throughout the weekend Jenny Lowthrop tweeted about the weekend’s events, quotes, questions etc, as well as updating Facebook with photos of the event as it was happening. A few quotes from the great feedback CWA received: “Widened my horizons, excellent pointers to funding, a trip to a fascinating location, a beautiful island, lots of new ideas” “Always a great couple of days that stimulate, great to see familiar people and learn more of what people are doing” “Quality of presentations and the work these communities do is excellent, encouraging, honest and helpful” CWA gratefully acknowledges the support of our funders: Scottish Government Skills Development Scheme, the Robertson Trust, Forestry Commission Scotland and Highlands & Island Enterprise.
