Mair Trees Please
If you breathe oxygen or live in a house, you need mair trees.
If you believe that everyone should live in a beautiful, healthy and climate-resilient neighbourhood, you need mair trees.
If you want to reach net zero, you need mair trees.
If you want healthy rivers and reduced flood risk, you need mair trees.
If you want nature-rich and climate-resilient farms and crofts, you need mair trees.
We need mair trees and we need to take better care of the trees we already have - especially our wonderful rainforests and irreplaceable ancient woodlands.
We have a lot to celebrate from the past five years, but Government needs to do more.
Join us in calling on the next Scottish Government to make five key commitments to woods and trees.
1. Expand Scotland’s native woodland by funding a minimum of 18,000 hectares of new woodland every year, of which over 50% should be native.
2. Deliver meaningful, long-term, upscaled funding and action to regenerate Scotland ’s rainforest.
3. Fight the threats to Scotland’s native woods and trees from pests, diseases, high deer numbers, invasive species and timber plantations.
4. Recognise trees as a powerful tool to help urban communities improve streets, air quality, climate resilience and wellbeing.
5. Reform agricultural support so farmers and crofters can plant a range of low-density woods and single-tree options.
