Our dedicated forest industries team provides specialist support to all types of organisations involved in forest industries, from owners and contractors to hauliers and processors.

Our purpose is to act as the catalyst in the formation of a group of forestry industries, linked as customers, suppliers, partners, service providers and researchers - all collaborating to their mutual benefit.

We believe that Scotland has the potential to develop global excellence in forest industries and are keen to establish wood as the ‘natural choice’ for sustainable and innovative solutions.
