Have your say on woodland management plans
Published: Monday 24 August 2026
Consultation is under way on a Woodland Management Plan for South Lanarkshire’s two country parks.
The plan for Chatelherault and Calderglen Country Parks sets out how biodiversity will be protected and enhanced, woodland health restored and ensuring the forests remain vibrant, resilient places.
To take part in the survey, visit the dedicated web page.
Both web pages have a ‘take the survey’ button at the top of the page, and the surveys will remain open until Monday 21 September.
Head of Enterprise and Sustainable Development, Alison Brown, said: “I would encourage everyone to have their say on this important consultation.
“Your feedback will help shape the plans and ensure local views are considered as future priorities are developed.
“By improving woodland paths, opening up brighter, safer spaces, and nurturing more diverse habitats, these plans place health and wellbeing at the heart of our approach.
“This plan has been developed to provide a full description of the woodland at the current time and to give management proposals for the next 10 years, ensuring the woodlands continue to be both robust and welcoming for residents, visitors and future generations.
“The plan may identify future tree works, such as thinning or selective felling, where these would support healthier, more varied woodland.
“Any works would be carefully planned, phased and subject to the necessary approvals, resources and funding being available.”
