Description

NatureScot in conjunction with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park (LLTNP) require Woodland Herbivore Impacts Assessments of the Southern islands on Loch Lomond; to be clear, these are: 1. Inchmurrin 2. Creinch 3. Torrinch 4. Clairinch 5. Inchcailloch 6. Inchfad 7. Inchcruin 8. Buccinch 9. Inchmoan 10. Inchconnachan 11. Inchtavannach 12. Inchlonaig The method that must be used is the WHIA which can be found via the Woodland Tool box link: https://www.forestry.gov.scot/publications/1480-the-woodland-herbivore-impact-assessment-method-user-guide NatureScot require the consultant to conduct the WHIA, analyse, and report the findings. NatureScot/LLTNP will supply a boat and skipper to ferry the consultant between the islands. Due to boat availability we need to be very specific about the dates that these WHIA will be conducted. We only have access to the boat between 2/3/26 till 13/3/26. All 12 islands need to be completed within this timeline. Historical WHIA contracts have demonstrated that this timeline is realistic. This timeline excludes weekends, i.e. we have the boat for up to 10 weekday working days. The boat will leave Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway at 09:00 returning around 15:15 for the duration of this contract. All PPE for boat trips will be supplied. This work will feed into the ongoing deer management across these southern islands.
