Residents from Shotts, Allanton and Hartwood were invited along to a drop-in event this week to help inform the design of new woodland in the area.
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) extended the invite to the local community to attend the event at Hartwood Home Farm.
The farm was purchased by FLS in 2020 with the aim of establishing a new multipurpose woodland delivering timber production, carbon capture, biodiversity value, as well as community and social benefits.
