Great to meet with #ScottishForestry Highland Conservancy team near #Ullapool this week, quite the view! The topic: establishing trees on marginal, upland areas. We talked tree species, provenance, natural regen vs planting & constraints such as exposure, soil minerals, peat & deer. Super useful.

This is what 330 hectares of Spruce plantation looks like, on the SW slopes of Warblaw. We are fighting a proposal to plant another 300 hectares of conifers on the other side of this small hill.

Warblaw Hill is part of Langholm, which is why we are objecting to commercial forestry here. We don't want Sitka Spruce plantations on our doorstep.

It's not just Stobo Hope. The communities fighting Sitka Stobo Hope is just one forestry scheme set to blanket the landscape in conifers. There are others - as well as local campaigns fighting back

Scottish Woodlands have delayed submitting their forestry designs and grant application for planting Warblaw Hill, to Scottish Forestry, until the summer. We are continuing to campaign against monoculture forestry on this 'sensitive' site.
