Native woodlands
 

BirchwoodOur native woodlands are one of the most characteristic elements of the Scottish landscape - from the rugged Caledonian pinewoods and birchwoods in Highland glens to the remnant ancient broadleaved woods in Borders cleuchs.

They are home to many species of animals and plants - from wildcats to wood ants and mighty trees to tiny mosses, lichens and fungi.

Action for Scotland's Native Woods

Our Action for Scotland's Native Woods booklet encourages people to think about opportunities to manage and create native woodlands.

Native Woodland Targets and Habitat Networks

The Native Woodland Targets and Habitat Networks report analyses the potential to achieve native woodland Habitat Action Plan targets in Scotland by developing forest habitat networks centred on existing woods with a high nature conservation value.
