The Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) has been a cornerstone of forestry support in Scotland for the past decade and has helped deliver a wide range of environmental, economic, and social benefits across the country.
We have recently published a new report documenting the impact of the Forestry Grant Scheme in Scotland.
The report uncovered a range of positive outcomes enabled by forestry grants including improved woodland resilience, enhanced biodiversity, strengthened rural economies, and increased skills and capacity across the sector.

New video series
To accompany the publication of the new FGS report, we’ve produced a suite of short films that bring its wider benefits to life.
These videos demonstrate that the FGS is about much more than tree planting. It supports:
- people
- communities
- businesses
- nature
Through real-life case studies, the five films showcase some of the scheme’s less visible yet far-reaching impacts.
They highlight how individuals and organisations have used grant support to achieve their goals while contributing to Scotland’s broader environmental and economic ambitions.
Watch the videos and explore how the FGS is helping shape a more resilient and sustainable future for Scotland’s forests and communities.
