Welcome to Reforesting Scotland
Reforesting Scotland is a leading charity and movement involved in environmental, social and sustainable forestry in Scotland. We represent over 750 members and our vision involves the creation of a well-forested and productive landscape, as well as a culture which values the contribution that trees and woods bring to our lives.
Reforesting Scotland aims to:
- Promote a sustainable forest culture and economy in a well-forested
land
- Develop the use of locally-produced forest goods and services
- Encourage social and ecological restoration in forests and in
wider land use
- Raise awareness of the benefits of low-energy living based on
woodland resources
- Place the Scottish forestry situation in an international context
