Description: Description:
The Dedication Scheme (Basis I & II) was introduced in 1947 in order to encourage landowners to retain their land in forestry and to introduce good forestry practice. Basis III was introduced in 1974, providing grants for new planting and additional supplements for broadleaves.
The Dedication Scheme was closed to new applicants in 1981. Land still under Dedication could continue to be within the scheme but Dedication would terminate on a change of ownership.
Dedication schemes without a Plan of Operations and therefore receiving no grant, are deemed to be under Negative Covenant.

Description: Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme - SFGS
Following publication of the Scottish Executive’s Scottish Forestry Strategy 'Forests for Scotland' the opportunity was taken to review the Woodland Grant Scheme and the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme and give them a greater Scottish focus.
The Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (SFGS) - encouraged the creation and management of woods and forests to provide economic, environmental and social benefits.
Grants were available under three main areas:
- Grants for woodland expansion - creating new woodlands.
- Restocking grants, for replanting following felling.
- Stewardship grants, for a range of activities in existing woodlands.
Applications for SFGS grants started in June 2003 and closed in August 2006.
Most grants for SFGS were based on a percentage of Standard Costs of agreed operations. The Standard Cost took account of the costs of labour, plants, machinery, materials and supervision to do work to the specification as set out in the SFGS Standard Costs and Specifications Booklet.
Depending upon the level of public benefit, grant payments were either at 60% or 90% of the Standard Cost. In the case of restocking, Standard Costs were mostly pitched at 75% of the new planting Standard Costs.
Grants were available for planting proposals that met one or more of the following objectives:
- Establishing well-designed productive woodland.
- Expanding areas of native woodland, preferably through natural
regeneration and the development of Forest Habitat Networks.
- Improving riparian habitat.
- Improving the quality and setting of urban or post-industrial areas.
- Improving the diversity of the farmed and crofting landscape.
Details of all eligible operations are set out within the 'Applicants Booklet' available from Conservancy Offices.

Description: The Woodlands In and Around Towns Challenge (WIAT) Fund
The Woods In and Around Towns (WIAT) Programme provides the focus for Forestry Commission Scotland’s work on improving quality of life in towns and cities. Phase I ran from April 2005 to March 2008. The second phase runs from April 2008 to March 2011 with a purpose to:
- Create new woodland.
- Bring neglected woodland into active management.
- Work with people to help them use their local woodland.
There are four key characteristics of woodland that determine whether it improves quality of life:
1. Where it is
The woodland must be close to where people live and/or work. We will undertake WIAT related activities within 1km of settlements of over 2000 people (Fig 1). Within the WIAT area, deprived areas are a priority.
2. How it is managed
Management for people will be the top priority in most WIAT woodlands. Woods should be safe and welcoming to all. WIAT woodland is also important for other aspects of forestry such as biodiversity. Woodland involved in WIAT should be managed in accordance with the UK Forestry Standard.
3. How it is connected to other woodland and greenspace
WIAT will promote the creation and management of woodland that is close to other woodland and greenspace so that it contributes to green networks. Paths should link the networks.
4. How it is connected to people
Most of the activity in this programme is directed at the physical elements of WIAT: where it is, how it is managed, and how it is connected into green networks. However, reaching out to people should be part of every WIAT project to help people use woodland.
March 2010 - WIAT Priority Areas introduced. This is a subset of the full WIAT area. It has been derived from the 15% most deprived areas of Scotland as defined in the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). The 15% most deprived areas were buffered by 500m and then clipped to the existing WIAT boundary.

************************** SPATIAL DATA **********************************
There are four spatial datasets associated with SFGS. These represent the scheme boundary, management plan boundaries, sub-compartment boundaries and deer fence lines within each approved SFGS scheme.
The spatial datasets are related to the GLS database on a 'many to one' basis. This reflects the fact that many operations may occur within one sub-compartment.
Data is captured against OS Mastermap.

There are four spatial datasets associated with SFGS. These represent the scheme boundaries, management plan boundaries, sub-compartment boundaries and deer fence lines within each approved SFGS scheme.
Each SFGS spatial dataset is accompanied by a specific non-spatial database table. The datasets can be related to each other on a 'many to one' basis. This reflects the fact that many SFGS operations may occur within one spatial geography (eg.a sub-compartment).
The S_SFGS_MAN_PLAN spatial dataset can be 'related' to the S_LINK_SFGS_OPSMANPLAN table using the 'SC_Link' attribute field.

The aim of the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland (NWSS) is to undertake a baseline survey of all native woodlands, nearly native woodlands and PAWS sites in Scotland in order to create a woodland map linked to a dataset showing type, extent and condition of those woods.
The objectives are to:
1. Identify the location, type, extent and condition of all native and nearly native woodlands and Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS - as identified from the Ancient Woodland Inventory) in Scotland.
2. Produce a baseline survey map of all native woodland, nearly native woodland and PAWS in Scotland.
3. Collect baseline information to enable future monitoring of the extent and condition of the total Scottish native woodland resource.
4. Provide information to support policy development and the delivery of social, environmental and development forestry.
The following datasets are available on the Forestry Commission's Spatial Data Repository (SDR).
FC.S_NWSS (base map and polygon level attributes)
FC.S_NWSS_INVASIVES_POLYGONS (spatial data for polygons where there is presence of invasive species)
FC.S_NWSS_CANOPY_STRUCTURES
FC.S_NWSS_HABITAT_COMPONENTS
FC.S_NWSS_HERBIVORE_IMPACT
FC.S_NWSS_INVASIVES
FC.S_NWSS_OTHER_TRAITS
FC.S_NWSS_SPECIES_STRUCTURES
The following describes the layers available in the FC Scotland Map Browser and also gives an indication of the nature of the spatial data and the related component non-spatial data. (N.B. Every table contains a SCPTDATA_I field. This is a unique field which is used to link all other component tables). If you wish to carry out complex analysis, particularly involving elements of the components tables, e.g. species selection, you should do so using GIS software rather than the FC Scotland Map Browser.
NWSS Map:
This is a straightforward view of the data which describes the type of NWSS polygon based on the following categories:
Native woodland: >50% native species in the canopy
Nearly-native woodland: >=40% and <=50% native species in the canopy
Open land habitat: <20% canopy cover, usually 100% surrounded by woodland and adjoining a native woodland
PAWS: A woodland area wholly or partially identified in the Ancient Semi-natural Woodland Inventory as ancient semi-natural but currently not semi-natural.
NWSS Nativeness:
Displays the percentage share of native species in the total canopy. This ranges from 0% to 100% in 5% classes.
NWSS Habitat:
This view of the data shows the priority woodland type and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) woodland community. Open land habitat is defined by UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) type.
A dominant habitat is recorded for each polygon, however some polygons have habitats of equal dominance. In this case only one of the habitats is recorded in the top level spatial data. To identify all of the habitats in a particular polygon please refer to the FC_S_NWSS_HABITAT_COMPONENTS table or use the map browser identify tool on the NWSS Habitats layer.
Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS) may not display in the Habitat layer if a surveyor has not recorded a native priority habitat type for the site. This will happen when a site is non-native.
NWSS Canopy Cover:
Displays as a percentage, an assessment of the area covered by trees/shrubs. Values range from 0% to 100% in 10% classes. A minimum of 20% canopy cover is required to define woodland, so the 10% and 20% bands are skewed to allow for this.
NWSS Canopy Structures:
This displays the number of different structures recorded in a polygon (ranging from 0 to 6). The types of recorded structures are veteran, mature, pole immature, shrub, established regeneration or visible regeneration.
A dominant structure is recorded for each polygon, however some polygons have structures of equal dominance. In this case only one of the structures is recorded in the top level spatial data. To identify all of the structures in a particular polygon please refer to the FC_S_NWSS_CANOPY_STRUCTURES table or use the map browser identify tool on the NWSS Canopy Structures layer.
Information on the species identified in each polygon is also in the NWSS Canopy Structures layer and table.
* indicates a species which is classed as native for the purpose of the survey.
+ indicates a species is a shrub not a tree.
NWSS Semi-naturalness:
This view of the data shows the percentage of the polygon that is semi-natural. Values range from 0% to 100% in 10% bands.
NWSS Other Traits:
This layer records whether or not there are any other attributes which have been recorded in the polygon. The details of any other traits that have been found can be accessed by viewing the related information attached to a polygon.
NWSS Herbivore Impact:
This view of the data shows the overall impact that herbivores have had on a polygon.
NWSS Invasives:
This is a separate spatial dataset on the Forestry Commission Spatial Data Repository. It contains a subset of the overall NWSS Map dataset which includes only those polygons were there is some presence of an invasive species. The layer is symbolised on the percentage of invasive species with the polygons, show in 25% bands. The data itself contains more detailed information which is broken down into 5% bands.

Description: Description:
Forest Plans were introduced for landowners planning to carry out felling, restocking and thinning in their woodlands over a 20 year period.
The Forestry Commission provided a grant to help prepare a plan (Plan Preparation Grant) and owners can claim restocking grants set at the same rate as the Woodland Grant Scheme (1999 - 2003) or Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (2003 - 2006).
Once the plan is approved, a Forest Plan contract provides felling and restocking approval for 10 years.
Forest Plans (SFGS) were closed to new applications in December 2006.

=======================================
This dataset applies to Felling Licence Application recieved by the Forestry Commission after 1st January 2012 and administered using Forestry Commission Scotland's Case Management System.
=======================================
Anyone wishing to fell trees must ensure that a licence or permission under a grant scheme has been issued by the Forestry Commission before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply.
You normally need to get permission from the Forestry Commission to fell growing trees. This is usually given in a Felling Licence or an approval under a grant scheme. In certain circumstances you may also need special permission from another organisation for any proposed felling. This sometimes applies even if you do not need a Felling Licence.
Everyone involved in the felling of trees, whether doing the work or by
engaging others, eg. the owner, agent, timber merchant or contractor, must
ensure that a licence or approval under a grant scheme has been issued
before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply. They must
also ensure that the work is carried out in accordance with the terms of a
Forestry Commission permission. If there is no licence or other valid
permission, or if the wrong trees are felled, anyone involved can be
prosecuted.
Do not begin felling until the Forestry Commission have issued a licence or other permission. Any felling carried out without either a licence or other permission is an offence, unless it is covered by an exception.
Full details are available in the Forestry Commission's booklet 'Tree Felling - Getting Permission'.
