Forestry in Grampian

P. D. P. CLARK

The Forestry Authority (Scotland), Grampian Conservancy Ordiquhill, Portsoy Road, Huntly, Aberdeenshire, AB54 4SJ, Scotland

Grampian, Scotland's third largest region in terms of both land area and population, has a long history of forestry. In spite of past over-exploitation and natural disaster the woodland area is now one of the most extensive and productive in Britain and supports a thriving wood-using industry. Timber production is expected to double over the next 20 years.

As well as being economically important, the region's forests are valued for their role in recreation, their place in the landscape and the habitats they provide for wildlife.

Woodland expansion has continued steadily throughout the latter half of this century and seems likely to continue. Two exciting potential developments are the proposed Forest of Mar in upper Deeside and the Grampian Forest in the wider Buchan area.
