Storm Dave brings disruptive and potentially damaging winds across Scotland, with the MET office issuing yellow and amber warnings through Saturday into Easter Sunday morning and across the weekend.  Peak gusts of 50-60 mph will be possible fairly widely, with 60-70 mph in more exposed areas. There is a slight chance of even stronger gusts of 80-90 mph in such exposed areas for a time. Please take care. and refer to our guidance on preparing for storms. We recommend woodland managers and owners read the Scottish Windblow Contingency Plan, while guidance is also available on managing storm damaged trees.

National Stakeholder Group (NSG)

The National Stakeholder Group helps inform Scottish Government development of strategic policy issues.

Specifically, issues influencing the implementation of:

  • forestry strategy objectives
  • forestry targets
  • connected Scottish Government outcomes

This group is an advisory forum for issues that will inform the future of forestry in Scotland. It’s not a decision-making group but the discussions help shape ideas and plans.

NSG discussions include:

  • strategic issues that influence the Scottish Government’s long-term vision for forestry
  • outcomes and delivery of climate change, biodiversity and forestry targets
  • implementation, monitoring, and statutory reporting of Scotland’s forestry strategy
