Theme: Green Spaces, Climate Education Glen Finglas Visitor Centre sits within the Glen Finglas Estate in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Managed by the Woodland Trust, the centre acts as a gateway to a vast landscape of native woodland, hills, and wildlife-rich habitats that are being restored as part of the Great Trossachs Forest project.
From the visitor centre, people can explore a network of walking and cycling routes, discover wildlife such as red squirrels and birds of prey, and learn about the ongoing work to restore Scotland’s native woodlands. The site provides an inspiring place for visitors to connect with nature, understand conservation efforts, and experience one of Scotland’s most significant woodland regeneration projects.
