Forestry and Land Scotland is the Scottish Government agency responsible for managing our national forests and land. We were established as an executive agency of Scottish Government on 1 April 2019 following the full devolution of forestry to the Scottish Parliament. However, our expertise builds upon over 100 years of work of the Forestry Commission. Our mission is to look after Scotland’s national forests and land, for the benefit of all, for now and the future. We work to: - Support and enable economically sustainable forestry - Conserve and enhance the environment - Deliver benefits for people and nature Work on our national forests and land contributes £1 million to the Scottish economy each day, supports 11,000 jobs and soaks up over 3 million tonnes of CO2 each year. We also support tourism and increase access to the green spaces that will help improve Scotland’s physical and mental health and well-being. Our national forests and land hosts over 80 community projects with a focus on inclusive activities. We are proud to contribute to the continuing success of forestry in Scotland.
