Angela Douglas, Executive Director of Scotland’s Finest Woods, said:
“We, at Scotland’s Finest Woods, want to recognise the very best of Scotland’s woods and all they can offer, whether it’s amazing projects being carried out by schools, communities and even individuals, or exemplary silvicultural practice within the forest industry.
“We thrive on finding and celebrating the best examples of all the hard work that goes on, often away from public gaze and often over many years, to develop Scottish forestry and I am delighted that those involved have the opportunity to become a winner of a Finest Woods Award.
“There are several trophies and a total of £7,000 of prize money to be won so grab a short and simple application form and put your woodland forward before it’s too late!”
