Tay Forest Park is a forest park in the council area of Perth and Kinross in Scotland. It consists of a network of forests managed by Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) that are spread across the Highland parts of Perthshire,[1] and covers 194 km2 (75 sq mi) in total.[2] The park contains a series of disparate woods that are managed for multiple benefits, with an emphasis on recreation facilities for visitors.[3]
