Managing the land

We take long term planning very seriously. We make sure our resources are best allocated to contribute to improving the environment, economy, health and wellbeing of the nation in a sustainable way.

Planning our land management

A land management plan sets out how we intend to manage an area of land for a period of ten years. Learn more about this process.

Trees play a major part in creating a healthy ecosystem. Find out how trees and timber can support a greener future.

Newton Nursery

Learn how we're growing trees from seed to support timber production and woodland creation across Scotland.

In 2025, we moved into our new, modern glasshouse. It's roughly the size of two football pitches. Thanks to this upgrade, we can now grow around 19 million trees.
