Woodlands in Scotland provide the economy and local people with many benefits. But just how valuable are they and in what ways? Forest Research captured this value at the national (Scottish) scale, illustrated with local and regional insights from two contrasting case studies on how the benefits are experienced in the day-to-day lives of local people.
The research was carried out by an interdisciplinary team of 10 researchers from Forest Research. Their analysis used data collected from economic measures of the market and non-market benefits of forestry, two national Omnibus surveys, GIS techniques, questionnaire surveys of all known organisations in Scotland involved in forest-related activities, and two qualitative case studies of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley and Loch Ness regions.
