From Trees to Timber: Managing Your Woodland Asset

Whether you're establishing new woodland or managing an existing one, understanding how to maximise the value of your asset is key. Join us for an informative discussion on the journey from planting trees to high-quality timber products.

We'll hear from Andrew Adamson, Netherurd Home Farm, West Linton, and Ellinor Dobie, Abbey Timber, Abbey St Bathans, who will share their practical experience of woodland management. Topics will include:

• Species choice, weed control and establishment
• Pruning and thinning for timber quality
• Harvesting and timber sales
• Using timber on-farm
• Supplying local sawmills and furniture makers
• Understanding potential markets for your timber

We'll also hear about the Association of Scottish Hardwood Sawmillers (ASHS) and provide an overview of felling permissions and harvesting and processing grant support. Representatives from Scottish Forestry will be joining us to answer questions.

Join us to discover how good woodland management today can help produce higher-value timber and create future opportunities for your farm business.
