To ensure compliance with UK Forestry Standard, soils data collection may be required.
Soils data may also be needed to apply for:
- felling permission
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- Forestry Grant Scheme support
Accurate soils data will help plan and manage a forest to increase its resilience to the risks posed by climate change.
Scotland’s soils website includes a section on using soils data to inform the response of a forest to climate change.
