The Forest Policy Group (FPG) is a volunteer-led independent think tank dedicated to making Scotland’s forestry more diverse, community-focused, and ecologically resilient.

They want to ensure that local voices are heard in national policy discussions and have launched a short survey to gather views on how forestry is experienced and valued across the country.

Why your perspective matters

You do not need to be a forestry specialist to take part. Whether you live near a woodland, volunteer in local green spaces, or simply care about the Scottish environment, your views are essential. The FPG are looking for honest feedback on:

• Local connections to forestry.
• The benefits and challenges of forestry in your area.
• Community involvement in land-use decision-making.
• Priorities for public funding and the environment.

How to take part

The survey is entirely anonymous and takes only 5 to 7 minutes to complete. You can access it here:

The survey will close at 11.59pm on Friday 5^th June 2026.
