FGS SMF Public Access - WIAT

Scotland’s woodlands and forests are a vital national resource and play an important role in rural development and sustainable land use.

As well as helping to reduce the impacts of climate change and providing timber for industry, our forests enhance and protect the environment and provide opportunities for public enjoyment.

The Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) will support:
- the creation of new woodlands, contributing towards the Scottish Government target of over 10,000 hectares of new woodlands per year
- the sustainable management of existing woodlands

PUBLIC ACCESS - WIAT
==================
This option aims to provide support for the sustainable management of urban woodlands for public access.

Urban woodlands are those located within one kilometre of settlements with a population of over 2000 people.

Support is provided to ensure the management of the woodland achieves the Woods In and Around Towns Management Standard.

This is an annual grant to support the costs of the maintenance of urban public amenity areas in existing woodlands. It supports the ongoing activities of:

- carrying out annual tree and path safety inspections
- keeping access routes free of litter and tree debris
- keeping paths and signs and recreational facilities up to an acceptable standard

苏格兰的林地与森林是我国至关重要的自然资源，在乡村发展与可持续土地利用中扮演着举足轻重的角色。除了有助于缓解气候变化的影响，并为工业提供木材外，我们的森林还增强了环境保护，并为公众提供了休闲的机会。

林业补助计划（FGS）将支持以下内容：
- 新林地的创建，助力苏格兰政府实现每年新增超过10,000公顷林地的目标
- 现有林地的可持续管理

公共接入 - 城市林地
==================
本选项旨在为城市林地可持续管理提供支持，以促进公众接入。

城市林地指的是位于人口超过2,000人的聚居地一公里范围内的林地。
提供的支持确保林地管理达到城市及周边林地管理标准。
这是一项年度补助，用于支持现有城市公共休闲区域维护的成本。它支持以下持续活动：
- 执行年度树木及路径安全检查
- 保持接入路线无垃圾和树木碎片
- 保持路径、标志和休闲设施达到可接受的标准
