Securing the future of our Caledonian Pinewoods;
A focus on Western Pinewoods
This October, Scotland’s Pinewood Conference 2024, aims to bring together a wide range of people interested in pinewood management to examine how landscape scale management can lead to ecosystem recovery, focusing on western pinewoods.
We've designed a unique programme which offers lots of opportunity for discussion and engagement. As befits a conference about pinewoods, there is also a chance to get outside! While that might be a bit chilly in October, you can look forward to returning to an evening of good food at the Nevis Centre.
The conference dinner will be followed by a special performance of music and verse, inspired by pinewoods and their place in local history and culture.
All of this and it's only Day 1...
It's been a long time coming - don't miss it!
Booking is now open. In person tickets are limited.
