We are working with Falkirk Council to improve the resilience, amenity, and conservation value of woodlands across the Polmont area.
Green Action Trust has been working with Falkirk Council over the last few years to manage and develop its woodland portfolio, following community consultation exercises in 2018. Funding has been secured through Falkirk Council and the Green Action Trust’s allocation of Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, Scottish Forestry’s Woodland Improvement Grants, Falkirk Council’s Section 75 allocation from nearby development, and EB Scotland.
Falkirk Council’s Forest Estate Plan aims to improve the resilience, amenity, and conservation value of woodlands across the area. This includes enhancing biodiversity with new tree planting, invasive species removal, path upgrades, and making the woods safer and more accessible for communities. During 2023 work will be happening at 5 sites:
This map shows all the sites being worked on at this phase of the project.
A further phase of this project will be delivered at different sites in Polmont in 2024. To find out more about any of this woodland management work, you can get in touch with us at contact@greenactiontrust.org
