Second public consultation on the Review of the Scottish Forestry Strategy

 

The first public consultation on the Review of the Scottish Forestry Strategy (24 June - 16 September 2005) gave Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) useful feedback on what people thought were the important issues facing forestry.  This helped us to draft a revised Scottish Forestry Strategy and an accompanying Environmental Report.

The second public consultation, which ran from 6 March to 29 May 2006, sought views on the draft Strategy and the Environmental Report, which are provided below.
