Home About Our work Scotland’s Forestry Strategy 2019 to 2029 Scotland's Forestry Strategy is a 50-year vision and 10-year framework to action, expand, protect and enhance Scotland’s woodlands. Why are we expanding Scotland’s woodlands? Forestry plays a vital role in shaping Scotland’s landscapes, supporting its economy, and enriching the lives of its people. What we don't do Scottish Forestry often receives enquiries for issues that are the statutory responsibility of other organisations.
