The six key woodland species for action under Scotland's Forestry Strategy
The notes below summarise the action being undertaken by Scottish Forestry (SF), either by ourselves or in partnership with others, to help conserve these species in Scotland, both in private woodlands and on the national forest estate.
Capercaillie
Black Grouse
Red Squirrel
Pearl-Bordered Fritillary

Action for these species is part of a much wider SF programme which is described in the Woods for Nature: Our Biodiversity Programme 2008-2011.
