Long term learning opportunities in temperate forestry:Royal Scottish Forestry Society - Monitor Woods Scheme (Learning by demonstration)

摘要

In 2016 the Royal Scottish Forestry Society (RSFS) approached the then Forestry Commission in Scotland (now Scottish Forestry) with a proposal for pump priming funding for a long term project aiming to enhance knowledge gathering and sharing in the Scottish forestry sector.This was not a new concept as the RSFS North region had run a scheme called Demonstration woods in the 1990's which had five woods of different "types", each woodland to be visited on a five year rotation. The difference with the Monitor Woods Scheme (MWS) was the scale of the project with a target of over 100 woods to be involved.
