The Bin and Deveron Woods are situated in the agricultural landscape of western Aberdeenshire and eastern Moray. They are a loose cluster of 12 small woods in the Deveron river valley with the exception of South Balnoon, which is further to the east, away from the river. 

The purpose of the plan is to set out management objectives and prescriptions for the forest for the next ten years in detail, and in more broad terms for the following 20-years. 

The main priority for these woodlands is the production of a sustainable timber crop while at the same time maximising their biodiversity value. Areas not considered for commercial management include permanent woodland and open habitats.
