Glen Finglas is a large upland site owned and managed by the Woodland Trust and is part of a major native woodland restoration project in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The Trust is Britain’s leading charity dedicated solely to the protection of our native woodland heritage. It protects and manage woodland for the good of both local people and wildlife and since its foundation in 1972, it has grown to care and protect over 1000 sites covering 17,500 hectares (43,000 acres).

Glen Finglas is by far the biggest, covering 4085 hectares. The Trust is involved in expanding the woodland on the estate and increasing the mix of habitats. There are a number of paths, allowing you to choose from a 15 minute walk around Little Drum Wood to the 15 miles (24km) Mell Trail around the upper glens.

Glen Finglas has the potential to become one of the largest native broadleaved woods in Scotland. Also close at hand, just across the road, are the Black Water Marshes, where the Trust has provided parking and further trails, giving even more chances to see buzzards, sparrowhawks, kestrels and even the odd osprey, fishing in Loch Venacher.
