Laggan Woods Land Management Plan
Laggan Woods Land Management Plan
We are currently carrying out a Land Management Plan (LMP) revision to help us determine future management proposals for Laggan Woods. An LMP details how we intend to manage our land over the coming 10 years and indicates our vision for the next decades and beyond. This revision covers all forest and land managed by Forestry and Land Scotland at Laggan Woods, a total of approximately 1,329 hectares.
Through the new plan we intend to address issues around resilience to climate change, deer pressures and the health of the numerous watercourses in the area. We want to make sure that the forests provide future economic and social benefits to the residents and visitors, and that ecological value is retained and enhanced.
