Forestry in the North Cheviot Hills

A. A. ROWAN

Forestry Commission

The history of the woodlands on the igneous rocks of the North Cheviot Hills is briefly reviewed, and site factors are described. The chief silvicultural problem is selection of species, particularly on steep exposed hills, and details of performance of various species in this area and on similar Scottish sites are given. The relationship of forestry to existing grazing agriculture is discussed, and there is a good case for further extensive afforestation on economic grounds. This need not conflict with the use of the area as a National Park. Forestry has an important sociological role, in halting rural depopulation.
