FGS Eligibility Native Woodland Habitat Network

This dataset provides an Integrated Habitat Network (IHN) for native woodlands in Scotland. Its purpose is to aid the scoring process when assessing Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) applications made under the SRDP programme. It identifies three levels of information:- core native woodlands primary zones that are within a 'least-cost distance' of 500m secondary zones that are within a 'least-cost distance' of 2,000m These latter two zones represent the differing dispersal abilities of generic woodland species across surrounding land which is not source native woodland.
