Summary of: Proposed Woodland Creation Plan at Blaendoethie
The new planting scheme will aim to create a well-established and productive conifer-broadleaf woodland at Blaendoethie. The site is located in the Doethie Valley, close to the Tywi forest region, and sits within an upland area which has a good climate for productive tree growth. Sound silvicultural techniques and well-planned forest management will maximise site productivity and over time will produce a sustainable stock of good quality timber and a store of carbon, providing value to both the local economy and environment. The woodland will be designed to fit into the surrounding landscape; there will be broadleaf tree species planted alongside Nant Meredydd, providing valuable riparian habitat. The planting mixture of small-seeded pine and spruce will provide connectivity of habitat suitable for the nearby red squirrel population. Areas of open ground and broadleaf planting will be placed around the woodland edges to soften the impact of the new planting. Identified constraints will be designed into the plan, with watercourses, Public Rights of Way, historic features and infrastructural assets buffered for future protection.
Objectives for the proposed planting
- Manage the new planting using sound silvicultural techniques to grow good quality timber.
- Enhance the capital value of the land through the provision of productive woodlands.
- Ensure the design of the woods fits in to the surrounding landscape.
- Provide ecological connectivity within the landscape.
- Maintaining and enhancing biodiversity, through a mixed conifer broadleaf woodland.
- Protect assets and other features on site with buffer areas.
