These iconic glens are the southern gateway to the Cairngorms National Park and we’re privileged to be looking after them for the future. This is a long-term project for us and an important opportunity for us to work with our neighbours and partners. 

We intend to make significant changes to the land management over time - including restoring riparian zones and eroded peatland, restructuring existing forest plantations, and creating new native woodland – to increase the land’s resilience to mounting external threats like climate change, biodiversity loss, disease and invasive species.

We will continue to consult communities of interest as we develop a Land Management Plan covering Glen Doll and Glen Prosen through 2024. The Land Management Plan for Glen Isla, which includes Glen Markie, was consulted on in early 2023.

The Land Management Plan will take 12-18 months to develop and some initial changes to the landscape should be noticeable within two to three years although significant woodland expansion will take several more years.

Have your say at our community consultation events

We know how important these glens are to local communities and visitors. We intend to work closely with you through our planning process to explore opportunities for collaboration and community benefits.

Our initial public scoping consultation took place throughout October 2023. Information displays were available at the Glen Doll Ranger Centre and our online survey was open for public feedback.

We are now looking to consult on our draft land management proposals in May and June 2024.

An information display and feedback forms will be available in the Ranger Centre at Glen Doll from 30th May until 30th June, and our draft proposals and online feedback form will be available on this web page again too.
