Perth and Kinross forest plan

The Perth and Kinross Forest Plan provides a framework for the sustainable management of Council maintained woodland assets over a 20 year period and allows external funding and community support to be sought to underpin this.  The implementation of the Plan will help ensure the public's woodland asset is maintained and protected by the Council for future generations.

The Forest Plan, below, covers all woodland sites owned by the Council throughout Perth & Kinross. It explains the nature of the woodland areas and the suggested priorities and intentions for their future management.
