FGS WIG Habitats and Species - New Natural Regeneration - Claims

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 where grant money has been claimed and paid for successful 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.

苏格兰的林地与森林是国家的重要资源，对农村发展与可持续土地利用发挥着至关重要的作用。除助力缓解气候变化的影响、为工业提供木材外，我们的森林还提升了环境保护水平，并为公众提供了休闲的机会。

林业补助计划（FGS）将支持以下方面：
- 新林地的创建，助力苏格兰政府实现每年新增12,000公顷林地的目标
- 现有林地的可持续管理

林地改善补助金 - 生态位与物种
===============
本选项旨在为符合苏格兰生物多样性战略和欧洲指令中定义的优先生态位与物种的资本工作提供支持。

本选项的目标包括：
- 改善原生林地的状况，并将古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内的非林地生境（如低地苔原和石南苔原）
- 与林地边缘相关的物种（如珍珠边界的蛱蝶）
- 林地设计景观

本数据集展示了在FGS生态位与物种选项下，成功申请并获得补助金的新自然再生设立区域。

此项目旨在成功设立原生树种在开阔地或林地边缘的自然再生，且存在再生的可能性，以及原生树木的成功设立符合林地改善补助金 - 生态位与物种选项所详细阐述的目标。
