There has never been a better time to consider a career in forestry. Scotland’s woodland cover is increasing from 19% to 23% by 2032 with ambitious planting targets set out by Scottish Government to tackle climate change, provide sustainable jobs and to support the Scottish economy.
Scotland’s forestry sector is worth £1 billion annually and provides employment for approximately 25,000 people – this number will grow like the trees and woodlands.
Forestry is a long term, green industry. Foresters must think to the future because trees that are planted today will be growing for the next 25, 50, 100 years!
