FGS WIG Habitats and Species - New Natural Regeneration - Options

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 12,000 hectares of new woodlands per year
- the sustainable management of existing woodlands

Woodland Improvement Grant – Habitats and Species
===============
This option provides support for capital work that will benefit a range of priority habitats and species, as defined in the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy and European Directives.

This option is aimed at:

- Improving the condition of native woodlands and restoring Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites to native woodland
- Restoration or conservation of non-woodland habitats (such as lowland raised bogs and blanket bogs) that are present within the internal boundary of the woodland
- Species associated with woodland edge (such as the pearl-bordered fritillary)
- Woodland Designed Landscapes

This dataset shows areas approved for New Natural Regeneration Establishment under the FGS Habitats and Species option.

This item is for the successful establishment of natural regeneration of native tree species on open ground within or around the woodland edge where there are prospects of regeneration occurring, and where the successful establishment of native trees meets the objectives of the Woodland Improvement Grant – Habitats and Species option as detailed in supporting information.

苏格兰的林地和森林是国家重要的自然资源，在乡村发展和可持续土地利用中扮演着至关重要的角色。除协助减轻气候变化的影响并提供工业用木材外，我们的森林还提升了环境保护水平，并为公众提供了娱乐的机会。

林业补助计划（FGS）将支持以下内容：
- 新林地创建，助力苏格兰政府每年12,000公顷新林地目标的实现
- 现有林地的可持续管理

林地改善补助金 – 生态系统与物种
=============================
本选项提供对有利于一系列优先生态系统和物种（如苏格兰生物多样性战略和欧洲指令所定义）的资本工程的支持。

本选项旨在：
- 改善原生林地的状况，并将古老林地上的种植林恢复为原生林地
- 恢复或保护林地内部边界存在的非林地生态系统（如低地高原沼泽和全覆盖沼泽）
- 与林地边缘相关的物种（如珍珠边纹蝴蝶）
- 设计景观林地

本数据集展示了根据FGS生态系统与物种选项批准的新自然再生建立区域。

本项旨在成功建立原生树种在林地边缘或其周围开阔地上的自然再生，且在该地区存在再生的可能性，以及成功建立原生树木符合《林地改善补助金 – 生态系统与物种》选项中详述的目标。
