Riparian zone is gradually beingimproved and extended.Continue expansion, supplementbroadleaf planting.
Extensive Archaeological remains.Clear windblow carefully. Leavearea around buildings clear.
Potential for CCF.Convert to CCF.
Exposed edge subject toearly windblow.Already cleared.
Black Grouse habitat.Extend open area. Restockwith a more scattered edge.
Reasonably wind-firm.Fell later than originallyplanned.
Less wind-firm than predicted.Fell earlier that originallyplanned.
Windblow.
Calcareous and Base. RichGrassland. Water of May formerlyhad freshwater mussel beds.Leave wide open area betweenrestocked broadleaves and Water of May.

Riparian zone now mostly broadleaved.Maintain plantings to ensuresuccessful establishment.
Mature trees are good red squirrelhabitat.Convert to CCF.
Wetland is currently a WWF flood ameliorationproject site.Continue working with WWF.
Good red squirrel habitat.Retain for as long as possible.

Proposed Core Path
Tonguey Faulds car park and walk.Potential to enhance car parkenvirons and "welcome zone".

Peaty areas.Investigate restoration possibilities.
Name suggests crag was formerly raptor nest site or feeding site.Keep area in front of crag open.
Former drove road?Investigate.
Post medieval settlement?
Proposed core path network link.Investigate in conjunction with Perth andKinross Countryside Trust.
Formerly Ancient Woodland outside forest.Restock blown areas with native broadleaves to increase diversity.
Proposed Core PathPlant broadleaves, and leaveinternal/external views open.

Joint FCS/Woodland Trust car park.Continue to maintain and promote.
Sufficiently sheltered to allow thinningbut too steep in most parts.Remove from thinning plan.
Reservoir.
Glen Sherup Trout Fishery.
Mixed broadleaves being establishedbelow forest road and along burnsidesfor increased biodiversity.Will need continued input to ensuresuccessful establishment.
Very wet ground.Fell earlier than originally planned(swap with more stable area) andreplant with smaller area.
Popular "Donalds" (hills in Lowland Scotlandover 2000 ft) but very poor access to/fromforest road.Avoid obstructing access to/from ridge whenrestocking - burnsides will be much more open with groupsof broadleaves.
High, often jarring tree line.Reduce tree line on restocking.
O.S. Surveyor's bothy?Inform FCS Archaeologist for furtherinvestigation.
