Biggar & District Community Heritage is a charity established in 2005. We exist to conserve, maintain, and improve the heritage of Biggar and the surrounding area. We lease and manage two connected areas of local community woodland and have published a town trail leaflet. We are currently working on improving our local path network for the benefit of both local people and visitors. We also continue to maintain the woodland areas.
