Why is Moray's micro-climate in North-east Scotland perfect for growing 15 million trees a year?
Why are those trees so important to our environment & economy?

Timber Haulage Academy: The next course will be from 24th Feb - 4th March at the Killoch Training Centre, Cumnock, Ayrshire.
This is an exciting, and unique, opportunity to experience timber haulage and gain CPC+F module certification.

The forest industries in the south of Scotland and north of England have joined forces to tackle the aftermath of #StormArwen. The new group met for the first time today (14 Jan) to work collectively to manage the fallen trees. Full story: forestry.gov.scot/news-relea…

Members of the public should still avoid forests and woodlands that were affected by #StormArwen. With #StormBara's winds now hitting Scotland, previously damaged trees are especially dangerous and could topple. #StaySafe and avoid storm damaged woodlands. 👍🌳🌲
(1) Important messages to #farmers #crofters #landmanagers #woodland owners and the #public. In the aftermath of #StormArwen there's many overhanging/fallen trees, creating a very dangerous environment. Member of the public should stay well clear of the forests until made safe.

A good piece by Gordon Davidson in @scottishfarmer
For many years, the biodiversity value of wood-producing forests and managed woodland of all types has been under-valued and under-recognised.
