Revised strategic plans
Following the helpful consultation feedback the Forest Enterprise Scotland Strategic Plan for the National Forest Estate 2009-13 is being revised and will be available from Summer 2009 (also published on this website).
A recent review of the Forest Enterprise Scotland structure has required us to reflect these changes in the revised Forest District Strategic Plans. Finalised Forest District Strategic Plans will be available during July 2009.
The Draft FES Framework Strategic Plan
The information below was put out to public consultation between April and June 2008.
The Scottish Government’s Forestry Strategy was published in October 2006. The draft FES - Framework Strategic Plan defines how Forestry Commission Scotland will implement this strategy on the national forest estate and what other actions it requires from its operating arm.
The plan provides direction for 14 individual Forest District Strategic Plans. Drafts of these documents are available below, as well as the Strategic Environmental Assessment for each of the 14 district plans. Printed copies of these documents can be requested by calling 01463 232811.
