Key documents  

For 100 years, Scotland’s national forests have provided the country with a rich source of timber.

Today, the story is one of diversification – Scotland’s forests are managed as a productive, recreational and environmental resource.

Forestry and Land Scotland is an executive agency of the Scottish Government. We manage Scotland’s national forests and land on behalf of Scottish Ministers, guided by clear standards, strategies and legal responsibilities.

This page brings together the key documents that explain how we operate – from corporate plans and annual reports to governance policies and environmental standards. Together, they show how we plan, report and stay accountable in everything we do.

We look after Scotland’s national forests and land for the benefit of all – now and for the future. Our work supports Scotland’s people, nature and economy, ensuring our forests continue to thrive for generations to come.
