Sunart Oakwood
The Sunart Oakwoods are made up of areas of oakwood and mixed woodland managed by the Forestry Commission and private owners. The aim is to conserve and restore the endangered habitat. The woods were once home to a thriving community producing charcoal, bark tan and timber for building. Under previous policy the woods were planted with non-native coniferous species which halted the expansion of the oak wood species. Now with community support the conifers are gradually being removed and the oakwood habitat restored. This project will take a number of years to complete and requires an ongoing commitment from the Forestry Commission, partners and the community to ensure the future of the woodlands.
