Allt Beith, Glendaruel, Argyll And Bute

Overview

Allt Beith is a young commercial woodland, established in 2022, with the crop now successfully established across the site. The woodland extends to approximately 38.30 hectares of conifers, predominantly planted with Sitka spruce and Norway spruce, which together account for around 72% of the stocked area. The crops comprise improved planting stock, selected for enhanced growth and timber production potential, and are expected to deliver significant future volumes of commercial timber.

The woodland was established under a Woodland Grant Scheme and is registered with the Woodland Carbon Code. The project has generated a total of 15,815 Pending Issuance Units (PIUs), comprising 12,652 claimable units alongside a standard 20% risk buffer of 3,163 units. PIUs represent the carbon sequestration forecast to be delivered by the woodland over its lifetime. Subject to successful verification, these units may be converted into Woodland.

Location

The woodland is located on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, an area with a long-established tradition of commercial forestry. The climate is temperate, with high annual rainfall, typically in the region of 1,500–1,800mm, mild winters and few prolonged frosts. These conditions suit the species present well: principally Sitka spruce, Norway spruce and mixed broadleaves, all of which perform reliably in the high moisture environment of the west of Scotland.

The glen runs broadly north to south with rising ground on both sides, providing a degree of shelter from the prevailing south-westerly winds. Soils on the lower and mid slopes are predominantly mineral, developed over metamorphic bedrock, and are generally capable of supporting productive conifer crops where drainage is adequate.
