Argyll Landowner Ordered to Replant Trees After Unauthorized Felling
Forestry officials in Scotland have mandated an Argyll landowner to plant 1,472 new trees following unauthorized felling near Dalmally. The felling, which involved more than 50 trees, prompted an investigation by Scottish Forestry. The landowner is required to complete the replanting by April 2027, with the new woodland to be maintained for a decade. The restocking will include Birch, Hazel, and Oak trees, covering a larger area than initially damaged, to compensate for the biodiversity loss. Preparatory work for the replanting is reportedly underway.
