Forestry Commission Scotland is here to promote the wide range of social, economical and ecological benefits that woodlands and forests bring to people. By removing physical, perceptual and cultural barriers to woodland access, the Commission aims to provide all people with more opportunities to get outside and enjoy a range of healthy activities.
Interacting with children and families is the first step towards a better understanding of all the many benefits that woodlands offer, ranging from wildlife, to education to improved health. Our focus is to make local woodland accessible and welcoming and to help people build healthy activity into their daily lives.
Forestry Commission Scotland serves as the forestry department of the Scottish Executive, advising on and implementing forestry policy and managing the national forest estate. Our mission is "to protect and expand Scotland's forests and woodlands and increase their value to society and the environment."
