Carnock and Dean Land Management Plan

Carnock and Dean Forests are two mature, mixed woodlands situated in south-west Fife, lying north and south respectively of the villages of Carnock and Gowkhall on the A907 Dunfermline to Alloa road.

Our land management plan describes how we will manage these woodlands over the ten year period between 2019 and 2029.
