The events will be held on:

• Friday 13 February at The Howgate, Falkirk, from 11am to 3pm

• Monday 16 February at Hallglen Sports Centre, Falkirk, from 5pm to 7pm.

Councillor Adrian Mahoney, Falkirk Council's spokesperson for Culture, Leisure and Tourism, said: "The Council welcomes the Forestry Commission Scotland's ongoing, long-term commitment to Callendar Woods by the preparation of a draft 10 year land management plan.

"Callendar Woods is an important space at the heart of many local communities around Falkirk. The woodland is also a backdrop people visiting Callendar House and Park as well as those walking the new John Muir Way which passes through through the Woods.

"I would encourage anyone with an interest in Callendar Woods to try to get along to one of the consultation events and share their views."

Community Ranger Gordon Harper added: "We're really keen to get feedback from as many people as possible about our proposed plans for Callendar Woods. We're looking forward to talking to members of the community and hear what they would like to see in their local woods."
