Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has called for corporate investors to help progress woodland creation and peatland restoration projects on land that it manages – as it hopes to capture one million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
FLS said the opportunities are spread across the country and are in various stages of development, in anticipation of there being interest from the private sector.
The body has a “pipeline of projects” that can only be fully developed through funding from partners, which it says will lead to funders receiving independently-verified woodland carbon units that can be used to offset their future emissions from UK operations.
