This exposed hillside site will be replanted with a mixture of native trees (birch and rowan) and Sitka spruce, with the Sitka acting as a shelter crop to protect the natives as they establish themselves.\u00a0We call this approach &#8216;R&amp;R-mix&#8217; &#8211; Remove the Sitka spruce and Replant with a mixture of spruce and native woodland.<\/p>\n<p>First, we&#8217;ll do roadworks to improve forest tracks so that felling machines can get access to the site. Then, we&#8217;ll take out the windblown trees. Harvesting on sites like these is a lot more difficult and hazardous for the forest workers than a normal felling operation. The trees fall in all directions on top of each other, so a mix of machines and a chainsaw operator will be needed. Clearing the trees in this kind of situation takes more time than normal, so please be patient while we work. Later in the year, we&#8217;ll come back and plant the new forest.<\/p>\n<p>The trails in the area will remain open for most of the time, however the AfterBurner and Blazin&#8217; Saddles sections of Mountain Bike Trails will be temporarily closed. Please follow safety signage and Coillte staff directing traffic.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this particular forest, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/media\/2020\/08\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-Sign-web.pdf\">here\u2019s a PDF of the signage we\u2019re using on-site.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/media\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"9180\" height=\"5877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use.png 9180w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use-1536x983.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DMM-Ballyedmonduff-RR-Mix-MAP-use-2048x1311.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 9180px) 100vw, 9180px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATED 15.10.20: Starting on Tuesday 20th October, the Dublin Mountains Makeover is continuing in Ballyedmonduff.
