The Sitka plantation is growing very well and will provide a good source of income in future years; access is good and the timber market is very high. Towards the far end and closer to the moss, the trees are a bit slower growing but they will catch up. Dependant upon the future owners plan for the land there are a number of different ways of managing this forest. In some European countries the policy of clear felling large sections of woodland has been outlawed as it has proven to be very damaging to the soil structure and wildlife habitat. Instead a management plan incorporating continuous tree cover is seen as a much more sensible way of managing forestry in the long term.

The woods sit not far from the Forsinard Flows National Nature Reserve, an incredibly important habitat that has attracted large amounts of government funding in an attempt to preserve the peat bogs. These are havens for many sphagnum mosses that lay the foundation for creating peat, this in turn atrracts a vast array of insects and reptiles, from dragonflies to newts to frogs and butterflies. . Otters are attracted to the cleaner waters as well as curlews and greenshanks that thrive within wetland areas.

It is rare to find woodland with the substantial history of a building. This land was once a working croft, as can be seen in the ruins of the old farmhouse and the associated farm paraphenalia dotted about. It is not unreasonable to presume that an interested buyer would be well placed to get planning permission for a new dwelling as was the case for a nearby ruined croft and woodland.

There is grassy track that goes round the entirety of the plantation with one internal ride and a wayleave through part of the wood. There is a metal gate at the entrance off the public road.

All sporting rights are included with the woodland.

As well as the potential for timber harvesting this woodland would be well suited for someone interested in establishing a small holding, free from energy dependency on imported gas or oil.

The woods at Olgrinmore sit in a quiet part of the country on the edge of the flow country, nestled between Westerdale and Scotscalder. The railway station at Scotscalder boasts the reputation as the least used station in the UK! Caithness has a low population with only two major towns, Thurso and Wick, but many smaller settlements. The low population has encouraged wildlife to flourish both at sea and on the rivers, with otters and seals inhabiting small islands on the nearby River Thurso. This area was a Pictish stronghold until the Norwegian Norsemen arrived from the 10th century onwards, establishing settlements all along the coast.
