Shaping the Future of Scotland’s Forests:

 Forest Policy Group (FPG), a volunteer-led independent think tank dedicated to making Scotland’s forestry more diverse, community-focused, and ecologically resilient.

We want to ensure that local voices are heard in national policy discussions and have launched a short survey to gather views on how forestry is experienced and valued across the country.

Why your perspective matters

You do not need to be a forestry specialist to take part. Whether your residents live near a woodland, volunteer in local green spaces, or simply care about the Scottish environment, their views are essential. We are looking for honest feedback on:

  • Local connections to forestry.
  • The benefits and challenges of forestry in your area.
  • Community involvement in land-use decision-making.

Priorities for public funding and the environment.

How to take part

The survey is entirely anonymous and takes only 5 to 7 minutes to complete. You can access it here:

The findings from this research will be used to advocate for better, more democratic forestry policies that benefit people, nature, and local economies.
