Important

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.

This is a revision of the long term land management plan (LMP) for the forests of Upper Nithsdale. It covers five forest blocks situated on the Southern Uplands of Dumfries and Galloway. The blocks are largely contiguous, positioned between Kirkconnel to the north and Moniaive to the south. They include Corserig (630 ha), Euchanhead (711 ha), Polskeoch (818 ha), Shinnelhead (843 ha) and Cairnhead (1351 ha) - a total of 4353 ha, and spanning a distance of over 10 miles.
