Description
Ardochrig is a high-quality, first-rotation commercial forest, well located and established in 1999. The crop is predominantly Sitka spruce, a proven commercial species in the region, which has produced an impressive volume of timber for the age of the crop.

A timber assessment carried out in June 2025 estimated the forest was holding approximately 9,400 cubic metres of timber, with an average of 640 m³ per conifer hectare. Notably, some coupes exceed 730 m³ per hectare, underlining the forest's productivity. The survey also indicates spruce yield classes ranging from YC 24 to YC 31, reflecting strong growth potential and commercial value.

The majority of the timber is nearing maturity and may be considered ready for harvesting in the next 2-5 years.

The underlying soils are productive. 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.
