Inchnacardoch Forest Working Plan 1931 -35
The document is courtesy of Inverness, Ross and Skye Forest District and staff at their Fort Augustus office.
This plan is the surviving remnant of a plane written in 1930. The plan is divided into 27 chapters many with a descriptive text and some with comprehensive quantitative data in completed forms. However the chapters 19-23 are missing in this case but there is a still a large amount of information on the early plans and ambitions of the Foresters with some indications of the challenges and failures that they struggled with before the advent of fertiliser, cultivation and more knowledge of tree species suited to the poorer and wetter grounds.
