Forestry operations are due to start at the end of September 2026, and through to the end of November, around Drumdruills Farm, with access to walkers and cyclists on the Glen Road being maintained
A short deadend track for stacking and haulage vehicles to turn around is being made on the North East side of Drumdruills Farm, with prelimany tree clearing starting on the 25th Sep, followed by road works in the following week, w/c 28th Sept (during which stone for the hardstanding will be imported, requiring 6 tipper loads be day, with lorries reversing (under supervision of a banksperson) from the Drumdruills Farm entrance up the Glen Road to the new track.
Timber Harvesting are anticipated in early October, with timber haulage from the site should be completed by the end of November.
Access for walkers and cyclists on the Glen Road and other core paths (such as the path from the Drumdruills Farm access road to the Darn Walk) may be temporarily restricted; this will be managed through warning signage on the approaches and bankspersons who will request path users to pause briefly until the harvester is contacted by radio to stop work and allow safe passage past the worksite.
Following consultations between the Forestry companies (F&W Forestry and RTS Forestry) , Stirling Council Roads Dept and Access and Sustainable Travel Officer, the level of timber haulage from the site will be a maximum of 4 to 6 lorry loads per day, avoiding times when school children will be going to , or coming from school ( 08:00-09:00 and 14:30 -15:30 ).
The overall plan is to remove dead and diseased trees and rejuvenating the woodland through fresh planting of a wider range of species.
The first stage of these operations is to undertake timber harvesting work in the woodlands at either side of the Glen Road, to remove Ash trees affected by Chalara Ash dieback and Larch trees susceptible to Phytophthora ramorum infection. This will also improve public safety along this section of the Glen Road core path between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, by removing trees that may fail and fall across the route or shed large branches on to the path.
The harvested sites will then be planted with a range of broadleaf and conifer species to provide increased future resilience to disease and to provide increased biodiversity within the woodlands at Drumduills.
Glen Road is National Cycle Networks Route 765 Bridge of Allan to Dunblane.
