The inquiry into public financial support for tree planting began with an open, public consultation in 2022. @scotforestry unfortunately did not respond, despite direct approaches at the outset and again during the report's compilation, seeking input to the evidence base. (1/4)

We're disappointed that @RoyalSocEd didn't engage with us on this report, despite our offer. We didn't see an advance copy either. Forestry grants are a vital means to stimulating woodland creation & we will continue to support funding for conifer and broadleaf planting.🌳🌲👍
