An update on the Ardvar Woodlands Special Area of Conservation

I visited Ardvar woodland back in December 2015 and blogged about the unfavourable declining condition of this Special Area of Conservation. It seems the Assynt Peninsula Deer Management Group is still dysfunctional, as yesterday Scottish Natural Heritage released an article on Deer Management on the Assynt Peninsula. A decision is due in the near future on whether the Scottish Government will issue the first Section 8 Control Order of the Deer (Scotland) Act 1996  requiring the Landowners to cull the deer population to a level that will enable woodland regeneration to take place.
