  • Dumfries & Galloway
    Survey Report Dumfries & Galloway 2013 Revised Native Woodland Survey of Scotland Introduction Native woodlands are a vital part of Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage, providing us with a wide range of social, environmental and economic benefits. What is left today is only a small proportion of the native woodland that once covered much of Scotland, though much has been done since the 1980s to protect and restore the areas that remain. The Scottish Forestry Strategy (2006) promotes continuing action to expand our native woods, to improve their condition and to restore native woodland habitats on ancient woodland sites. To support this work Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) has developed the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland (NWSS), which is the most extensive habitat survey of its kind ever undertaken in Scotland. The survey will provide a nationwide map and a comprehensive picture of our native woodland resource for the first time. Results will be reported separately for each local authority area and in a national summary. This report presents summary information from the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland for the Dumfries and Galloway authority area. Survey Aims The Native Woodland Survey of Scotland will create a woodland map linked to a spatial dataset which describes the type, extent, composition and condition of all native woods in Scotland over 0.5ha in area. Planted woods on ancient woodland sites (PAWS) will also be surveyed, even where they are not mainly native in species composition, in order to provide information to help maintain or restore their remaining biodiversity value. Method The fieldwork for Dumfries and Galloway was carried out between January 2008 and June 2012.

Photographs also by Alan Devlin and Dumfries and Galloway Tourist Board This publication has been, designed and funded by a partnership of: Supported by Solway Heritage through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme A Message from the Health Improvement Group Cycling can seriously improve your health & happiness. Enjoy! CYCLING IN STEWARTRY This booklet is one of a series of four covering the whole of Dumfries & Galloway that suggest a variety of cycle tours for visitors and locals of all abilities. Local cycling enthusiasts, using their knowledge of the quieter roads, cycle routes and byways, have researched the routes to provide an interesting and rewarding taste of the region. A note of distance, time, terrain and facilities is given at the start of each route. All start points offer parking, toilets, snack places and accommodation. Some routes include stretches off-tarmac and this is indicated at the start of the route. Parking discs are required for some car parks and these are available at Tourist Information Centres and in local shops. Stewartry is part of the old province of Galloway. In those centuries when the easiest way to travel any distance was by sea, it held a strategic place on the west coast, Irish and Isle of Man routes. This explains the many archaeological remains near the coast.

The National Nature Reserve covers the large area of open hill stretching from the Big Water of Fleet to the summit of Cairnsmore. The reserve is one of a suite of NNRs in Scotland. Scotland’s NNRs are special places for nature, where some of the best examples of Scotland’s wildlife are managed. Every NNR is carefully managed both for nature and for people, giving visitors the opportunity to experience our rich natural heritage. Cairnsmore of Fleet NNR offers a true taste of the Scottish uplands; it is one of the most southerly of the Galloway Hills standing above Wigtown Bay. At its heart it is one of the remotest parts of south-west Scotland. The moorland is dominated by an imposing granite hill, shaped and sculpted by the elements. The summit offers superb views over the Cree Estuary, and views south to the Lake District and the Isle of Man, west to Ireland and north to Ayrshire.

  • Rural Land Asset Management Plan – Decision
    Rural Land Asset Management Plan – Decision Summary 1. This paper seeks the Board’s approval of the attached plan for the management of SNH’s landholding and proposes seeking the Cabinet Secretary’s support for our approach. Action 2. The Board is asked to: approve the Rural Asset Management Plan at Annex 1; and agree that the Chairman should write to the Cabinet Secretary seeking her support for the plan, offering to keep her sighted on the progress of individual cases of transfer of ownership, and to seek her views on those that are likely to be contentious. Preparation of Paper 3. Nick Halfhide wrote this paper, with input from John Kerr and Richard Davison, and sponsors it. Background 4. The Board considered a paper in May 2015 on SNH’s Landholding Review. Members approved the principles for SNH acquiring, holding and disposing of land and requested that the policy context around community empowerment and land reform be reflected more clearly in the presentation of the principles. Members further agreed that the Protected Areas Committee should scrutinise any proposed disposals on behalf of the Board. 5. Following the Board’s consideration, staff then assessed all 40 SNH owned or leased properties against these principles. As agreed by MT, the review did not cover SNH’s office portfolio, nor did it include land managed under a Nature Reserve Agreement. During the review, we added the possibility of setting up Starter Farm Units on SNH land following a request from Scottish Government to all public land owners. 6. In November 2015, MT considered the detailed outcome of this assessment and approved in principle that we no longer had a strong corporate need for approximately 6,000 ha of our current holdings of 43,000 ha.
