Community Woodlands Conference

CWA organised another very successful conference at Boat of Garten last weekend. One of the site visits was to RSPB Abernethy, where delegates caught up with plans to naturalise areas of Scots pine plantation. The discussion was good, provoking some serious reflection among participants.


One of the themes we looked at was the creation of deadwood. The vast majority of the species which live in the Abernethy pinewoods depend on deadwood at some stage in their life. However Scottish pinewoods are short of deadwood. This picture includes one of the numerous wee patches of deadwood that are being created in this plantation.
