2 What is this document? The term "Forest Management Plan" (FMP) describes all the site-level plans for the land managed by Coillte. Each site level plan represents the best balance of the social, economic and environmental objectives sought by our shareholders and stakeholders. This document is a summary of the finalised management plans for the forest in question. Please note, however, that due to the unpredictable nature of renewable resource management deviations may occur from this plan and it should be used as a guide only. The glossary of terms for Forest Management Plans would also be useful (see Introduction There are only six properties that make up the Ballyshannon forest and they are Behy, Cashelard, Coolcholly, Corlea, Derrykillew and Knader, total of 893 hectares. All the properties that make up this forest lay east of the town of Ballyshannon continuing to the border with Fermanagh. There are only minor county roads through this forest hinterland. The present species composition is Sitka spruce 54%, lodgepole pine 22%, other conifer 5%, larch 4%, Scots pine 3%, broadleaves 4% and finally some 8% of the forest is in open space. The main soils are blanket peat, surface bedrock and scattered pockets of metamorphic till. Nature Conservation All riparian zones are being managed for biodiversity allowing native broadleaf to regenerate where appropriate. Where fishery issues are concerned Pettigo forest falls under the jurisdiction of both Bord Iscaigh Réigiúnach an Tuaisceart and Comisiun an Fheabhail, Chairlinn agus Shoilse na heireann. The northern tip of the Cashelard property is in the Lough Golagh and Breesy Hill SAC. The plan is to clear the SAC of conifers and allow it to return to natural habitat. Recreation The properties in this forest are very popular for walkers and pony trekking. Shooting rights have been let to local gun clubs in some of the forest s properties. Security Forest fire plans are in place for this forest. Dumping is a serious problem in all our properties and regular contact is kept with DCC litter wardens and litter is also tidied up at regular interviews. Adjoining land use The land surrounding our properties is mainly hill farming and adjoining private forestry, recreation and hydro power generation. Other comments Lough Assaroe forms the southern extent of this forest. This Lough was formed when the ESB dammed the river Erin back in the 1950 s. The Cliff and Cathleen Falls hydro-electricity power stations are located at the southwestern end of this forest. Coillte s practice is to sell, lease or develop a limited area of non-strategic land, for purposes other than forestry. Most sales are made in response to local demand and typically comprise house sites, isolated dwelling houses, sections of recently acquired farms, small outlying forest properties and gravel pits. The land in Forest Property Corlea (MU MO0123) may be sold or developed for non-forestry purposes during the lifetime of this plan. Although forest management staff will be happy to discuss what they know of the plans for these areas the actual sale, if it proceeds, will be subject to the consultation procedures as detailed in our Stakeholder Consultation Code of Practice (and Coillte's policy on removal of these lands from those covered by our SFM certificate CY Page 2 of 17
3 Forest management Management Approach The main objectives are; timber production 83%, biodiversity 15% and other use 2%. The primarily tree species are Sitka spruce, lodgepole pine, larch and various species of broadleaves. One long term objective to increase broadleaves from 4% to 6%. This forest like all of Coillte forests, is being managed under the principles of sustainable forest management and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Sustainable forest management principles ensure economic, social and environmental sustainability. Reforestation will include Sitka spruce 65%, other conifers 20% and broadleaves 15%. As far as is practical due to soil conditions and topography broadleaves will be planted. Thinning and clearfell At present there are 53 hectares of clear-fells between 2011 and About 280 hectares of thinnings have been planned for the same period. Replanting All future reforestation will include a minimum of 15% broadleaves and where soils are suitable for the planting of commercial broadleaves. Page 3 of 17

6 Social & Environmental Impact Assessment Coillte's Social and Environmental Impact Assesment (SEIA) is the means by which we document the potential threats to the forest and its environment from our activities or the activities of others and our approach to reducing the risk of damage. We asked for submissions from the public at our pre-planning consultation stage and this is where each issue should be dealt with. In some cases we will not have been able to implement all suggestions in full but you should be able to see the reasons why, in the interests of balance, an alternative course of action was taken. The item labelled 'DSP Ref' refers to a District Strategic Plan which sets in context how Company policy is implemented at ground-level in some of these areas. The District Strategic Plans for each District are found at : Topic: Amenity/Recreation Topic_consultation Breezey Centre Ml Mc Garrigle chairman DSP_ref Impact rating LOW Issue details Injury to recreational walkers Dumping in forest Damage to loop walk in Behy property Risk mitigation Maintain hedgerows and forest roads.put signage in place to warn people of dangers of forest operations.

8 Forest Management Plan Summary Thinning Thinning, whereby a portion of the trees are removed at successive stages prior to clearfell, is a desirable practice when aiming to grow quality timber. This table shows the maximum total area which may be scheduled for thinning during the period of this plan in each of the Coillte forest properties in this forest. This level of thinning would mark a significant increase over previous years and is purely an indicative, aspirational level. Please note that Coillte forest property names do not always follow townland names or boundaries.

9 Management Objective Coillte's estate is managed on a multi-objective basis, where an attempt is made to balance the pursuit of economic returns, environmental protection and enhancement and social returns like landscape protection and employment. Rather than attempting to achieve a perfect balance on every site we recognise that some sites have a greater potential than others in pursuing different objectives. To this end, we nominate a principal objective for each site. This categorisation for this forest is outlined below.
