Cally Woods land management plan consultation

The Cally Woods Land Management Plan (LMP) comprises two small woodland blocks split by the A75(T). They provide a backdrop to the village of Gatehouse on Fleet around 20.0km south east of Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway.

We are developing this land management plan to detail our proposals for management of the area over the next ten years. Draft versions of the plan will be published here and we invite comments and feedback from the public on all of our proposals.

Community consultation event

Unfortunately due to the situation with COVID-19 the proposed community engagement drop-in event is now cancelled. Without knowing when a substitute day would be viable, as an alternative please look through the documents provided and comment where appropriate by sending them - and any additional queries - to the email address provided below.

An online ZOOM meeting with the local Gatehouse Initiative is planned.

This page will be updated frequently but please don’t hesitate to request any other information.
