ARM . The Agreed Route Map for timber haulage. This map has been developed by the timber transport groups at local authority level. The extraction route shown in the map below is not included. 

 Confor: Confederation of Forestry Industries Guidance Note

The harvesting of timber from the woods  behind Rhu  started  in Spring 2018. The original schedule below, provided before extraction started  is  not correct and will be updated when we have the information.

The Contractor, Scottish Woodland Ltd, is eager to  minimise the disruption to the community.  However the proposed  extraction routes are down Station Road and Pier Road, so there will be disruption.

This map shows the extraction route.

The map shows the areas for the four felling Phases 

Phase 1 - 2015-2019 

Phase 2 - 2020-2024

Phase 3 - 2025- 2029

Phase 4 - 2030 - 2034

Note added 29/09/2021.

The time slots for phases 3, 4 and 5 are being revised.

The new dates will be posted when they are received
