The Recreation Framework document sets out the vision, priorities and focus for action for access, recreation, and tourism on the national forest estate. It will prioritise work towards improving local health and well-being and local economic impact.
The framework focuses on six key recreation themes where work by the Forestry Commission Scotland will be directed:
- Accessible woodland close to communities
- Low key, well designed, high quality and welcoming facilities that fit with the natural environment
- Opportunities to learn about the natural and cultural heritage
- Robust locations for physical activity and adrenaline sports
- Iconic places that are part of Scotland's natural and cultural heritage
- Access through woodlands as part of daily journeys, longer distance routes or mountain access.
