Reforesting Scotland
United Kingdom
Registrace 16. 05. 2016
Reforesting Scotland is a network of people dedicated to 'restoring the land and the people'. We believe that ecological restoration and community regeneration go hand in hand, so we are particularly active in areas where these interests overlap, such as community woodland, sustainable livelihoods and access to nature.
We try to connect up the dots in both personal and policy terms. Our Journal, Books, Facebook Discussion Groups, Annual Gathering and #LandRevival Study Tour help to spread good practice and promote connections between different forest-related disciplines.

A short introduction to Reforesting Scotland's Land Revival study tour - where we went and why.
Good interview 🌱🌿🍃🌳🌲👍🌺. Thanks you🌱 for planting trees🌱🌳 🌲🌱🍃🌿🌲🌳👍🌱😊🌲🌳🌼🌸🌺🌱🌲🌳
Cull the deer and let the worst terrain revert bk to nature.
Your videos are just a waste of our time. In all of your videos it is only talks talks and talks blah blah blah... Super annoying. I'm very interested in your project, reforesting Scotland is a great thing. Some people say they've been doing it 30 years but we don't see anything. Beside a few photos why don't you show detailed videos of reforested areas, before and after? Same for Alan Watson he's only good at talking but he doesn't show anything...
As a Canadian infind the idea that there isn't forest everywhere weird.... and really sad.
Is it possible to view the Caledonian Pinewoods survey presented here?
May the forest be with you! 🌲🌳🌱🏞️🌲🌳
I thought I had read or seen somewhere in Scotland where they just fenced in an area so the animals could not get in and eat the saplings and it rejuvenated itself?
Nice videos and you do highlight the link to your website so that people can learn more about what you do. However, I do think that the videos could be both improved and be more inspirational if they were more than just pleasant overviews; i.e. more [actual] information about the work that's taken/taking place at each site featured. The Australian Permaculture Institute's 'Greening the Desert' CZcams videos are a good example of what I mean. Hope this suggestion helps.
Thank you for your efforts, I would love to see more Scotts and Brits get involved in this! I feel Britain is one of the world's all time worse case examples of denuded land-masses. More people in the UK need to be aware of their true standing in this category, as well as how they can take direct action. Just one little issue I had while trying to get through this video-In future videos please lower the volume of the background music..lol. Other than that, this was superb!
Siiii REFORESTAR árboles nativos para que VUELVA el ciclo de vida. No existiría el cambio climático. No existiría el calentamiento global. Los árboles regulan la temperatura en la corteza TERRESTRE. Resguardan las NAPAS SUBTERRÁNEAS. DÓNDE hay árboles hay agua. PRIORIDAD para todos los países del mundo. Juntos podemos.
Make sure to plant a variety of trees! Oak, fir, and nut trees,apple for the wildlife👍
Bison and wolves and cats job done
Divine work great
Look up Pani Foundation to transform the landscape for pennies .. not pounds
I would love to visit Scotland just to see LYNX and beautiful regenerating Caledonian forest.
I see two muppets have already viewed this film.
Highlands Region needs Reforestation Programme!
Get Wood buffalo to eat the grass and Grey squirrels to bury the tree seeds.
nonsense, its all talk, they are still spraying glyphosate, mounding hillsides and burning heather this is not what we need in aaaaaaaan ecological and climate emergency
an emergency demands and emergenced response = this is not it we need laws forcing deer and grouse owners to plant the hills
All they talk about is Woodlands . Why not fruit trees ? This would kill two birds with one stone . People need to eat . Why not fruit and nuts trees ?
by chance, can you please give your definition of what the word "reforesting" means? Could it be you're mixing this video up with one pertaining to sustainable agriculture, with a focus on orchards and groves... They have videos and groups of people doing that. It's not in the category of "reforesting." Look up FOOD FORESTS, you'll have better luck there.
Wonderful to see this. Very inspiring. I think the last comment of this video is appropriate: "I feel optimistic". I agree. I'm seeing efforts like these worldwide.
Pity they cut down all the trees next to the motorway in Cumbernauld, but that is missing from this film wonder why
What I miss in many of these arguments is the fact that it is not clear at all what us "native". first of: the concept hinges strongle on history. Things belong somewhere apparantly when they were here, not if they are here. That is a very anthtropocentric view: nature has to be the way a group of people tells it and others what it should be. Now global warming is going nowhere but one way: up! The temperature will rise, more prolonged droughts willl go hand in hand with extremely wet years....What tree, what species is native to a climate that is 3 C -5 C warmer with some very dry years? I don't think the Caledonian forest will love such warming since it is boreal. I don't think Sitka spruce plantages love droughts either. In times of such rapid and very significant changes in stead of trying to manage and control these things I think it is better to let nature be. Just pull away, do not manage do some sort of ideal. Do not demand nature to quickly change into some prefered direction certainly not when it goes against the flow. So i would go for no control, not culling of trees. Where you want to plant trees plant a good mix of trees some of which are far more able to survive in a warmer climate (Doug Fir? Corsican Pine?). So be realistic.
The climate situation is certainly a problem. For the past 2 years, the sun has been so hot here in South West Scotland, it has burned the leaves off my young Hazels, to the point it killed some. Pines have also met with problems here - mainly because the vole population is exploding. This seems to be quite a widespread problem lately, and I wonder whether that's linked to changing climate too. In the end, I had to turn to raising a particular strain of Abies concolor from New Mexico - which (obviously) is heat and drought tolerant, yet accepts as much rain as our climate throws at it and is a real turn off for the voles. As things change, I notice less acorns and Alders germinate, while more Beech seedlings do. We're definitely going to have to look more closely at how Nature is adapting to climate change, the species 'she' is selecting, and take her lead. All very nice thinking - Scot's Pine is our native tree so into the ground 10,000 new seedlings must go. However, if the species doesn't like the changing climate, we're either going to have to replace it with something more tolerant or genetically engineer it, otherwise we'll waste a lot of time and money repeatedly planting trees that are bound to die or struggle at best.
@@debbiehenri7170 Well over here in The Netherlands we have in general hotter summers than in Scotland and colder winters. Especially our coldest winters are a lot colder. I live in the southwest and we had 40,9 C a year ago, before that 38 C and this year a nice 35 C as a maximum. Mind you: prior to 2019 the Dutch national record was 38,6 in 1944. We have all kinds of spruces. In the very dry east Norway spruce is dying by the thousands. It is end of story for that tree. In my area near or on the coast things are better. Also I think we have Lutz spruce (Picea X lutzii?) which is very similar to Sitkaspruce and it does fine. For now. Corsican pine on sand has no problems, Austrian pine neither. Acer species to my surprise had big problems. Norway Maple over here is seen as a good drought tolerant species. Well...may be. The problem with nativisits is that they are so conservative and the funny thing to me is that they tend to be very progressive in many other ways. Very few will say anthropogenic warming is a hoax for instance. We will have to look at where our climate, especially locally, is heading. So not only look what is growing now, but how about 2050 and 2100? Do we want complete forrests to die in 2100. And our action against global warming even now is way way way too little prevent anything from spiraling completely out of control. A warming of 4K by 2100 is feasible. on continents certainly in the northern hemipshere (like Scotland and the Netherlands) this could easily be more. In NL we are already 2 C warmer, which is double the amount than the global average. Personally I see oneway out: geo engineering. So we canhalt things. because we see no government is seriously targetting those that are responsible for this disaster: multinationals like Shell, Exxon and a lot of others. Our government is giving THEM ouR money to get greener. Meanwhile they invest 95% in more oil and coal and 5% in green energy.... Suppose we let things warm up to 2-3 K above the 1951-1980 average. And we decide we need geo engineering than due to some pending disasters...That would mean a sudden jump back in a matter of a few years (it is that effective). It would be difficult for us to adapt, let alone trees and animals...But that is another discussion. Abies concoler is interesting. I have to say thart on our coast we have very abundant regeneration, even these years, of Abies grandis and Abies alba but I was personally interested in Abies concolor X grandis (I believe it is called Abies X grandifolia but unsure).
FYI...the Medieval Warming Period was warmer than it is now...only to be followed by the Little Ice Age...
I hope in 20 years there will be lush and thick forests in this site.
