  • Friends of Dundee Law Welcome Pack
    Friends of Dundee Law Welcome pack With its breath taking views across the city, historical features and tranquil woodland walks, the Law is a special place, treasured by Dundonians of all ages. The Dundee TWIG project agrees that the Law is a fantastic green space and feel that local people should have a greater involvement in what happens on the Law and play a vital role in its management and development. In order to help local people become more involved in positive action on the Law, we are looking to form a Friends of Dundee Law group. Anyone with an interest in the Law is welcome to join the group which will be supported by the Council’s Environment Department and Community Officers. To kick start the project, Forestry Commission Scotland have provided a grant through the Community Seedcorn Fund. This will support the group’s activities and events throughout the first year. Additionally, the Environment Department are currently putting together a Law Masterplan. This will contain an array of proposed environmental improvements i.e. path & steps restoration and woodland management, and also enhancing the heritage of the site for the public to enjoy. If after reading this welcome pack you would like to join the Friends of Dundee Law or are interested in finding out more please contact Jen Thomson. Contact details can be found on the back page of this pack . !n introduction to the Dundee Law The Dundee Law is a popular urban green space and prominent feature on the Dundee skyline. There is approximately 8.25ha of woodland with additional areas of open ground which greatly contribute in providing wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
