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.

This guide is for community woodland groups who are considering using private sector forestry skills and expertise to develop and/or deliver their forestry-related plans.

Summary

Most community woodland groups will use a combination of in-house capacity (direct employees or volunteers) and externally procured services: the extent of private sector involvement, and the nature and structure of the relationship, can vary significantly. The guide describes the range of relationships between community woodland organisations and the private forestry sector and details several case studies.
