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.
Commissioned by #ScottishForestry, @forestresearchuk.bsky.social has published a landmark shortlist of 28 tree species to help diversify and strengthen Scotland's forests against pests, diseases, and climate change.

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.

"An inherent risk to biodiversity and community..." - the proposed 500 hectare forest at Todrig near Ashkirk in the Scottish Borders.

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.
