Our Summary
- Looking ahead, the second rotation is expected to benefit from improved tree genetics and enhanced ground conditions, with the potential for higher yield classes and increased productivity
Description
Ardochrig Wood is a 20.68-hectare (51.10-acre) commercial forest located approximately 6 miles northwest of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, with easy access to Glasgow and the M74. The property is a high-quality, first-rotation forest established in 1999, with a predominantly Sitka spruce crop that has produced an impressive volume of timber for its age. A timber assessment in June 2025 estimated the forest held around 9,400 cubic meters of timber, with some coupes exceeding 730 m³ per hectare. The majority of the timber is nearing maturity and may be considered ready for harvesting in the next 2-5 years. The property includes sporting rights, mineral rights, and is bounded by a stock fence, with maintenance shared with neighboring landowners. The forest has strong growth potential and commercial value, with the potential for higher yield classes and increased productivity in the second rotation.
