Condition

Low potential for invertebrates and birds.

Lots of felled conifers.

New path created due to recent Barret homes development next to Croft Huggan

Limited community use or awareness: There is limited management of the woodland and no formal recreational access, therefore significant potential to improve the woodlands as a green network resource for residents and local schools

How can we help

Opportunity for replacing progressively fell conifers with oak and native shrubs.

Increase community awareness and use of the woodland areas for recreation, learning and enhancing Bonhill for future generations.
