New Woodland Planting


The Rosebery Estates embarked on an ambitious new planting programme during 2008 under the Woodland creation Scheme of the Scottish Rural Development Programme. A total of 23.21 Ha (57.33 acres) was planted throughout the Lothians.

   


In total 46,075 trees were planted and protected, of which; 27,485 were oak, 5,600 were a mixture of Scots pine and larch and 12,990 were mixed broadleaves. The long term intention is for a final crop of oak woodland over all these areas.

The new woodlands will form a key part in our sustainable woodland management plan for the future and link up existing woodland to create wildlife corridors, inline with the Edinburgh and Lothians habitat network, enhance the biodiversity of the woodlands, add significantly to the landscape and help support rural employment in the area. In future the timber these areas yield through thinning will add to our continued support of the biomass heating supply chain.

The new planting during 2008 was in addition to the 20,000 trees planted at our Leithenwater estate as part of our normal restocking programme for that year. Rosebery Estates woodlands are all Forestry Stewardship Council accredited and undergo rigorous annual assessment. Rosebery Estates are committed to the sustainable and commercial management of woodland which provides a diversity of habitat.

West Craigie Nature Detective Trail

John Sinclair, tenant of West Craigie Farm on Dalmeny Estate, has opened a Nature Detective Trail on the farm. Over several years John has undertaken nature conservation projects with Edinburgh Green Belt Trust which have involved tree and hedge planting, stone dyking and a wildflower meadow. Now visitors are being welcomed to follow the waymarked Nature Trail around the farm and to find out more about the wild plants and animals living there. The trail's opening times are the same as the farm shop where jams and preserves made on the farm may be purchased.
The farm also runs a pick-your-own soft fruit enterprise. For further details including opening times go to www.thejamkitchen.com
