This is the Forest Design Plan (FDP) for Mucomir Forest, near Spean Bridge. The woodland is situated within the Great Glen and is located to the south of Loch Lochy, between the A82 and the B8004, north and west of the Commando Memorial.
The Forest Design Plan is a core management document that lays out proposals for the future management of a woodland in accordance with current policy and practice.
The plans are far reaching, with a strong emphasis on delivering social, economic and environmental benefits. The plans are approved for an initial period of 10 years, with the period beyond this point being approved in outline. This allows for a review of the document and revision if necessary.
Forestry Commission woodlands are independently certified as sustainably managed under the UK Woodland Assurance Standard. Keeping people informed of management proposals affecting their local woodlands is an important part of maintaining this certification.
