Castle O'er Land Management Plan

The Castle O'er Land Management Plan (LMP) includes the forest blocks of Garwaldshiels, Twiglees and Castle O'er. The site is located near to Eskdalemuir, in Dumfries and Galloway. 

The plan identifies management objectives and sets out our operations for the next ten years. The plan has been approved by Scottish Forestry. This land is part of Scotland’s National Forest Estate, owned by Scottish Ministers on behalf of the nation, and managed by Forestry and Land Scotland.

The successful delivery of this LMP will contribute to the objectives of Forestry and Land Scotland’s Corporate Plan, as well as the priorities, objectives and vision of Scotland’s Forestry Strategy. The plan has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) and its supporting guidelines. The UKFS is the benchmark for sustainable forestry practice, and the Scottish Government is committed to its use
