MENSTRIE WOOD

About the Community Woodland

Menstrie Community Council bought Menstrie wood (also known as Red Carr Wood) in July 1998 on behalf of the local community, with help from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The 11.1 hectares of woodland has significant conservation value. This purchase enabled the Community Council to protect the woodland from inappropriate development and ensure access for future generations.

The Wood extends along the foot of Dumyat from Red Carr House in the West to the path going up onto Dumyat about 50 yards west of the Scout Hall.
