These iconic glens are the southern gateway to the Cairngorms National Park and we’re privileged to be looking after them for the future. This is a long-term project for us and an important opportunity to work with our neighbours and partners. 

We intend to make significant changes to the land management over time - including restoring riparian zones and eroded peatland, restructuring existing forest plantations, and creating new native woodland – to increase the land’s resilience to mounting external threats like climate change, biodiversity loss, disease and invasive species.

Have your say at our community consultation events

We are now looking to consult on our draft land management proposals. We know how important these glens are to local communities and visitors. We intend to work closely with you through our planning process to explore opportunities for collaboration and community benefits.

An information display and feedback forms will be available in the Ranger Centre at Glen Doll from 30 May until 30 June, and our draft proposals and online feedback form will be available on this web page again too. 

Find out more and tell us what you think at the drop-in events below:

• Glen Doll Ranger Centre, DD8 4RD – Sunday 9 June, 10am-4pm 
• Kirriemuir Town Hall, DD8 4BS – Wednesday 12 June, 12pm-7pm

And join us at the Forestry and Land Scotland Offices, Glen Prosen for an opportunity to find out more about our land management proposals and discover what this could look like on the ground in the future:

• FLS Glen Prosen Open Day, DD8 4SD – Saturday 15 June and Friday 21 June, 10am-4pm 

Explore the beautiful surroundings, learn more about forestry, woodland creation and habitat restoration, and enjoy a guided site tour. Tours will begin at 11am and 2pm.

Initial consultation feedback

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback so far. You can view a summary poster of the feedback here.

We will continue to consult communities of interest as we develop a Land Management Plan covering Glen Doll and Glen Prosen through 2024. The Land Management Plan for Glen Isla, which includes Glen Markie, was consulted on in early 2023.

The Land Management Plan will take 12-18 months to develop and some initial changes to the landscape should be noticeable within two to three years although significant woodland expansion will take several more years.
