New Logo & Website for SNW

‘Gardening Scotland’ was held at Ingliston over the weekend of 1/3 June - an extremely popular national event which attracts 30-40,000 people each year. Aberfeldy-based Scottish Native Woods took advantage of the occasion to launch its new-look logo and website, some 15 years since it first ‘went into business’.

The website contains a lot of information about native woodland types in Scotland, the wildlife and plants associated with them, and examples of work that has been carried out over the years.

“There is information on many of the local groups and communities that have become involved in native woodland management, how they have went about

 

doing things and what the outcomes have been,” SNW's Highland Perthshire manager Victor Clements told Comment.

Case studies are presented giving details of individual projects throughout Scotland. These cover a full range of woodland and ownership types, and explain some of the more interesting projects in greater depth.

“We hope that many schools will find information relevant to lessons that they may be planning, but there is also information that will be useful to larger landowners and farmers as well,” added Victor.

Reaction Invited

Scottish Native Woods gives management advice on a wide range of woodland projects throughout Scotland and currently manages some 16,000 hectares over several hundred sites, ranging in size from just a few trees to several hundred acres. Management advice can often be offered free of charge.

Victor urged: “Please take a look at www.scottishnativewoods.org.uk We would be delighted to hear of any comments that browsers might have, and will consider all suggestions for any changes that would make the site more valuable.
