• Funding opportunities for new native woodland creation on farms and examples of recent schemes (Future Woodlands Scotland, Fiona Chalmers)

• Taking forward a woodland carbon scheme – examples of recent schemes and the accreditation and woodland creation process (Claire Wightman – Treestory – EcoCarbon)

• Land manager perspectives on creating woodland for carbon

The second half of the workshop will be dedicated to discussion and panel members will be available to answer your questions. The workshop is free and open to all. Booking is required
