DEFA planning upgrades to Archallagan after timber harvesting

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says timber harvesting at an Island plantation will continue for the next three months.

Work's being done on storm-damaged areas at Archallagan Plantation to remove timber and ship it away.

DEFA says the huge operation is progressing well, but the plantation will remain closed to the public while it's going on.

But it also says it's already planning to restock the site with a mix of native species, as well as create new walking, horse riding and cycling routes.
