Tiroran Community Forest is a flagship project of South-West Mull & Iona Development. The forest lies on the north side of Loch Scridain and straddles both sides of Glen Seilisdeir. Having been acquired by the community in 2015, it is being transformed from a predominantly productive conifer plantation into a much more diverse woodland habitat. With a nature trail through the historic settlement of Knockroy, the forest provides an educational and recreational amenity resource for both the local community and tourists. While proactive planting of native broadleaf and conifers will bring benefits for nature, the planting of productive conifers and the woodland sawmill provides a much-needed resource and local employment. A biochar enterprise, camping aires, and woodland crofts will bring additional benefits for the community.
