These iconic glens are the southern gateway to the Cairngorms National Park and we’re privileged to be looking after them for the future. This is a long-term project for us and an important opportunity to work with our neighbours and partners. 

Following the scoping consultation that was held in October 2023, we have analysed feedback, consulted further with stakeholders and delved into ecological survey results to develop a concept proposal which explains our intended land management objectives and how this would look on the ground in the future.

Public consultation

We know how important these glens are to local communities and visitors. We intend to work closely with you through our planning process to explore opportunities for collaboration and community benefits.

An information display is available in the Ranger Centre at Glen Doll and our draft proposals are above on this webpage. 

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback so far. We're currently analysing feedback from our concept consultation in June. We spoke to over 200 people through events to find out what local communities think of our plans. We'll be working on forming more comprehensive plans through autumn 2024 and will share details via this webpage.

You can view a summary poster of the feedback from our 2023 scoping consultation here.

We will continue to consult communities of interest as we develop the Land Management Plan covering Glen Doll and Glen Prosen through 2024, with the final public consultation on the completed plan scheduled for early 2025. The Land Management Plan for Glen Isla, which includes Glen Markie, was consulted on in early 2023.

The Land Management Plan takes 12-18 months to develop and some initial changes to the landscape should be noticeable within two to three years although significant woodland expansion will take several more years.
