The woodland paths at Barnhill were getting very overgrown, so it was great news when, in Summer 2015, the Community Payback team at Barnhill cleared the paths of vegetation. Not just the sides, but the steps too, making them passable again. Thanks to Jo Birkin (South Lanarkshire Council Ranger) for the before and after photos. I’m sure you’ll agree, maintaining these paths and keeping them clear is a lot of work, but worthwhile for the scenic walks it permits through the Calder.
