Notes:
1. Non-FC/FS figures are based on areas for which grants were paid during the year. Estimate of areas planted without grant aid are also included (where possible), although non-grant aided planting may be under-represented in the figures. Figures for grant-aided planting under Rural Development Contracts in Scotland relate to calendar years.
2. The planting season lies both sides of 31 March, and the weather can cause planting to be advanced or delayed.
3. Includes natural colonisation and natural regeneration.
