Native Pinewood Managers' group - reflections on the last 25 years

摘要

The group started in 1991 in response to the lack of a suitable forum for discussing practical management issues relating to the Caledonian pinewood remnants. The founding moment arose after about the fourth pint in a pub in Portree following a fine day viewing native woodlands on Skye. It was at that point that Irvine Ross and I agreed that, although the Native Woodlands Discussion Group was excellent at bringing people together, it was so diverse and large that it was hard to delve into detail on any particular subject.
