How and where should Scotland grow the timber and fibre we need for a lower carbon bioeconomy? Forestry plays a crucial role in the transition to a lower carbon bioeconomy, yet the place of forestry in sustainable landscapes in Scotland can be contentious. There are inevitable trade-offs between forestry and other land uses. For the health of our landscapes and the well-being of society we need to find ways to balance how we use our land. In the first EFLN event focused specifically on the role of forestry in Scotland, we will hear perspectives and reflections from leaders in the sector. We envisage a nuanced and rich dialogue and constructive conversations about the way forestry can and should contribute to sustainable land use in Scotland.Speakers:Dr Helen McKay OBE FICFor, Chief Forester for ScotlandSimon Hart, Head of Forestry Scotland at John CleggPanellists:Jo Ellis, Head of planning and environment at Forestry and Land ScotlandDr Mike Perks, Principal scientist climate change at Forest ResearchDr Eleanor Harris, Natural capital and carbon leader at GalbraithShireen Chambers MBE, Chief Executive of Future Woodlands Sign up here Dec 03 2025 16.00 - 18.00 How and where should Scotland grow the timber and fibre we need for a lower carbon bioeconomy?
