Overview
As interest in woodland creation continues to grow, landowners and their advisers are increasingly exploring how forestry can support commercial, environmental and long-term estate objectives.
This webinar brings together experts from the Forestry Commission, Scottish Woodlands and Nicholsons to provide a practical overview of productive woodland creation and management. The session will explore timber markets, species selection, woodland design and establishment, before examining how forestry projects perform in practice and contribute to wider land management strategies.
Attendees will gain insight into the opportunities, challenges and realities of delivering woodlands that are both resilient and financially sustainable, with particular relevance for surveyors advising landowners, estates and rural businesses.
