Monitoring the Health and Financial Viability of Forest Industry Businesses

As part of its support for sustainable forest management, the Forestry Commission commissioned Firn Crichton Roberts Ltd and John Clegg & Co to undertake a survey of FIBs which could both generate benchmark information on these private businesses, and also identify potential innovations in business development support for the forest industries in Britain.  The objectives of the research included establishing business health and viability indicators for FIBs; generating a representative survey sample for the constituent forest industry segments; identifying the main economic and policy factors that influence business performance and prospects in FIBs; assessing the business impact of the introduction of Certification and UKWAS; and making recommendations on future business support and survey requirements for the industry.

National Forestry Stakeholder Group background paper - Improving Biodiversity across all forests and woodlands - April 2024

This paper - from April 17 2024 - aims to frame the topic of forests and biodiversity in Scotland. The paper:

• sets out the current strategic context and policy framework and key evidence and monitoring
• outlines a number of challenges as the basis for discussion and sets out tools enabling practical implementation across all of our forests
• does not try and cover all implementation and delivery activity
• is intended to enable discussion at the meeting

National Forestry Stakeholder Group discussion paper - Delivering local community benefits and wealth building - 14 March 2023

Scotland’s Forestry Strategy Implementation Plan 2022-25, sets out a shared ambition to develop and implement a framework for increasing forestry’s contribution to the delivery of local community benefits and community wealth building.

This discussion paper (14 March 2023) begins by providing a context for this ambition, before presenting a small selection of case studies to help inform discussions at the meeting on how it can be delivered.

National Forestry Stakeholder Group discussion paper - Building Resilient Future Forests

This paper gives a background to building resilience in our forests and woodlands as part of wider work on climate and landscape resilience, to:

• inform discussions on how policy and practice could evolve to support the vision set out in Scotland’s Forestry Strategy (along with wider Scottish Government objectives)
• create more resilient forest and woodland ecosystems by 2070
