Forestry Commission have now announced details of the new Woodland Grazing Grant. Scottish Native Woods played a part in the Argyll based group which did so much to persuade FC to introduce the grant. Here are some of the delegates in Struan Wood SSSI, one of only six sites known to provide a home for the Rannoch Roller moth, an insect that relies on grazed woodlands.
Roseanna Cunningham, Minister for the Environment, provided the political blessing for the day, launching the new grant with some words about the opportunity for farmers and foresters to work together. She's pictured with the press & Nigel Miller, Vice President of National Farmers Union Scotland, and Andrew Barbour, Woods Manager for Atholl Estates.
