Scottish Woodlands operates to an independently accredited management system which controls performance on quality, environment, health and safety and corporate social responsibility aspects. This provides a framework to support the certification process. The company was a founder member of the Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) which makes a commitment to health, safety and welfare across the industry.
In addition, the company holds dual certification Group and Resource Manager Scheme status with both FSC® and PEFC. This allows us to manage clients’ woodlands to internationally recognised standards for responsible forest management, in line with the UK Woodland Assurance Standard / UK Forest Standard.
Foresters in our forest management team have direct access to colleagues who are expert in a range of associated specialist services like timber marketing, forest certification, GIS mapping and woodland insurance. In this way, we can provide a truly comprehensive management service whilst our clients retain the personal contact of an individual forest manager.
