Public Access
To encourage people to use and take pleasure from the woodlands, there is an interconnecting network of way marked, sign-posted paths which link with other path and cycle way projects, and the proposed Angus Coastal walkway.
Way marker posts are marked like this
Way marked foot path at Lour Road, Forfar
From the start a vital element of the success of this project has been community involvement including 18 public meetings at the design stage, and annually local schools planting trees, bulbs and wildflowers.
Normal public access is restricted in the woodlands that are located in Education properties but they are used by the schools.
The woodland sites in Angus can be found at:
