Summary
Held on 4 June 2025 at Forest Research’s Northern Research Station in Roslin, the Forestry Strategy Event gathered a wide range of stakeholders to reflect on the achievements of Scotland’s Forestry Strategy since its launch in 2019. Attendees included representatives from government, environmental organisations, community groups, and the forestry industry.
Key themes included:
- improved communication
- addressing the climate crisis
- delivering sustainable forestry

Workshops encouraged participants to identify strategic opportunities and challenges for the next five years. The insights gathered will help inform potential actions for the next Strategy Implementation Plan, ensuring Scotland’s forests continue to deliver social, environmental, and economic benefits for generations to come.
