The North Sannox Land Management Unit is located 2 km north of the village of Sannox on the island of Arran. Covering an area of 127.5 ha, the area comprises a mix of planted woodland, predominantly native broadleaves, and open ground.  It is part of Scotland’s national forests and land owned by Scottish Ministers on behalf of the people of Scotland and managed by Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS).
We are revising the North Sannox Land Management Plan (LMP) which will define management prescriptions for the next ten years (2024-34) and presents a long term vision of the area. 

Community Consultation

Consultation with stakeholders (including the local community) is a requirement of the land management planning process, but it is also a valuable opportunity for FLS to engage with the public, talk about our work, and discover what's important to you. Our initial consultation period is now over and we would like to thank those who took the time to participate.
