Forestry Work

Commencing in Beecraigs Country Park from 11 September 2025, to thin out several forest compartments and clear the remaining storm damage in the central part of the park.

For this work to be carried out safely, some of the paths and trails will be closed for short periods of time. Please follow all diversions and instructions on safety signage on site, and do not enter any of the affected woodland areas, shown in green on the map. Where possible, paths will be reopened for weekend days, but we still ask that visitors do not enter the woodland areas around these paths, as there may be work still to be carried out.

Please be advised that large forestry machinery will be operating on site during these works, so please keep dogs under close control or on a lead, and keep children in sight. We apologise for any inconvenience but it is hoped that the work will be completed by the end of October 2025.  Thank you for your understanding.
