SCOTLAND can be "justifiably proud" of its forestry sector as it continues to "punch above its weight".
That's the view of the country's environment minister, who believes the industry will have a "significant role" in tackling both the climate and biodiversity crises amid increased demand for home-grown timber.
Mairi McAllan made the comments in the foreword of a newly published report on the progress being made on Scotland’s Forestry Strategy 2019-2029 – a major plan of action to expand, protect and enhance the nation's forests and woodlands.
