FGS Target Highland and Argyll Native Woodland

This dataset identifies a target area, the purpose of which is to increase native woodland creation through Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) applications in Highland and Argyll by paying a higher rate. The higher payment rate will apply to the following woodland creation options: Native Scots Pine, Native Upland Birch, Native Broadleaves, Native Low-density Broadleaves. The target area is primarly based on information derived from the Highland Council and Argyll & Bute Council Forest and Woodland Strategies. The area that overlaps with the National Parks has been excluded from this dataset; there are separate target areas covering the National parks.
