The Native Woods Co-operative (Scotland) Ltd

We are experienced woodland advisors with over 80 years of experience between us, and we combine this with a refreshing and pragmatic approach to helping woodland occupiers to work out what they should do with their woodlands and associated open ground. We all have wider skills than just woodland management and can advise on a wide range of farm, deer, river conservation and wildlife management projects. We are happy to hear from other who might be interested in joining us.

Scottish Native Woods Sites

Scottish Native Woods currently manage 225 different sites totalling almost exactly 18,000 acres. The following photos give you an idea of the approx site distribution in each area, although these are now a bit out of date.

These black pins represent our Central Lowland area, where the priorities include access provision, and PAWS (Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites) restoration, also a key consideration in all our other areas. In the central lowlands, individual sites tend to be smaller, and we have more off them. Sites in Fife have quickly multiplied recently, with many more than are represented here.

Scottish Native Woods are very nearly a national organization, with only the far north and the Borders being outwith our range. The North Highland Forest Trust and Borders Forest Trust operate in these areas, and we see little point in competing with them in these areas.
