Proposing the creation of a new footpath connecting the existing High Keir track, to form a nature trail called Keirs Glen Trail. Click here for more information.
Up to £29 million in businesses rates to South and East Ayrshire Councils supporting vital local services.
Proposed Keirs Glen Trail
As part of the scheme, we are also proposing a new footpath connecting with the existing High Keirs track, to form a nature trail called Keirs Glen Trail. As well as providing recreational benefits to the local community, it will provide biodiversity enhancement through native woodland and wetland planting. Further habitat enhancement will be provided through blanket bog habitat restoration on the site using measures including ditch blocking, peat hag reprofiling and reseeding of bare peat.
