Bute Community Forest
Bute Community Forest has twin objectives of habitat restoration & creation and community engagement, with a strong ethos of environmental awareness and education. We have 160 hectares, including part of the Atlantic Rainforest. Forest is to balance the ongoing requirements for community engagement To achieve this we aim to: - Effectively manage the existing broadleaf woodland to encourage natural regeneration of native species and the improvement of existing habitats. - Create three new habitats in Bullochreg Wood to benefit local flora and fauna while increasing biodiversity. - Establish and maintain our wildlife and historical trails (including signage and infrastructure) to improve access for educational and recreational activities. - Create a community hub with dedicated car parking where engagement, educational and recreational activities will be focused to allow us to increase access to the BCF for more local people while minimising the impact on the natural environment. - Create an area of forest suitable for long term sustainable harvesting with a tree nursery to aid with increasing biodiversity of the entire management area. - Create a source of income for the forest thro.
