Forestry Commission Scotland is seeking views from local people on the woodlands it manages around Drumchapel.
A ten year Forest Design Plan is in the process of being drafted and will be on display to members of the public on Thursday 13 November from 3-8pm at Drumchapel Community Centre, and on Friday 14 November at the Phoenix Centre from 2-7pm.
A Forest Design Plan is an important document, which sets out the vision of the forest in the future and so it is very important that people are aware of what is planned and help shape it.
Community Ranger Derek Shannan said “We’re really keen to get feedback from as many people as possible about our proposed plans for the woodlands that surround Drumchapel. We’re looking forward to talking to members of the communities and hearing what they’d like to see in their local woods.”
The Drumchapel woodlands include Cleddans Burn and Garscadden Woods. A network of paths runs through these sites and it is a great way to get some exercise, find a quiet place to relax or watch wildlife from roe deer and tawny owls to butterflies and water voles. Follow the path beside Cleddans Burn to the old water tower for views of the Kilpatrick Hills or picnic, walk or cycle beneath majestic ancient oaks at Garscadden Woods.
The consultations will be held as drop in sessions with maps and information on the proposals, and staff will be present to help answer questions and gather comments from the local community and site users on the plans.
