Developing Native Woodland Habitat Networks
This note advises land managers how to locate native woodland expansion in order to help to develop habitat networks and deliver Scottish Forestry Strategy targets.
Native woodland expansion includes the creation of new native woods and conversion from non-native woods. Biodiversity benefits are higher where expansion helps to develop habitat networks, which help woodland-dependent native species to spread and to adapt to climate change.
