Pitfichie and Corrennie Land Management Plan amendment

Pitfichie and Corrennie covers close to 2,500 ha made up of two forest areas separated by the A944 main road: Pitfichie in the North is composed of a series of summits ranging from Pitfichie Hill. Corrennie in the South is mainly located on the slopes of Green Hill and Red Hill. The forest is primarily composed of conifer with some areas of broadleaves present. The open lands are of upland heathland located around the summit of the hills.

In this amendment there are no changes to the planned felling of trees. The amendment consists principally of changes to tree species to be planted.

The changes in conifer species are due to the present soil conditions, competing plants, and levels of natural tree regeneration. Broad-leaf species are to be planted in riparian zones and areas of amenity woodland. 

The full amendment and maps can be seen in the below documents.

We recognise the diverse interests represented among our many stakeholders from environmental groups, local residents, and recreational users and we remain committed to maintaining an open, transparent land management process. 

We welcome any questions or feedback you may have regarding these changes within our 28-day consultation period.
