Visitors to Garvagh Forest advised to exercise caution, says Causeway Coast & Glens Council
Visitors to Garvagh Forest are being advised to exercise caution in the area.
The Forest Service have advised Causeway Coast and Glens Council that all harvesting operations in the Forest will cease from December 24 until January 4, 2026.
Work will recommence on January 5, 2026.
Visitors to the forest should be aware that many of the forest roads are mucky and uneven in places, due to the impact of heavy haulage lorries extracting timber. Extra care should be taken and appropriate footwear worn.
Please follow all on-site signage for your own safety. The following Mountain Bike Trails remain closed due to storm damage: Blue 1, Red 2B and Red 2C.
Forest Service and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council have also reminded visitors to Garvagh Forest to stay off timber stacks in the forest. Timber stacks can easily become unstable and a falling log can cause severe injury or death.
