Short Rotation Forestry Trials in Scotland: Progress Report 2012 and 2013

This report summarises the progress made in the short rotation forestry trials in Scotland up to March 2014, and gives an indication of the programme for the coming year, 2014/15.

Forestry Commission Scotland (now Scottish Forestry) and Forest Research (FR) initiated the network of Energy Forestry (EF) exemplar sites in September 2007. We have developed a programme of work to address the important information gaps on the growth and development of Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) and Short Rotation Forestry (SRF) in Scotland. The sites are also a practical, operational, demonstration of the potential for SRF and SRC. We will be use these exemplar sites to highlight the opportunities for these new crops to foresters and farmers.
