The recent storm has affected many of our destinations; it will take us some time to assess the extent of the damage. We are prioritising tree clearance work based on immediate danger and/or access issues. If you are visiting please take extra care and report any specific concerns to your local regional office.

The woodlands around Johnstone and Elderslie are great places for children to play, friends to stroll and walking groups to keep fit.

Paths lead among the trees right from the street in many places, and you can use buses and trains to get from one forest to another.
