To ask the Scottish Government what stakeholder engagement it has undertaken to progress the delivery of the proposed National Register of Ancient Woodlands.
NatureScot and Scottish Forestry are currently putting together a project plan to build on the existing Ancient Woodland Inventory to develop the new National Register of Ancient Woodlands. This will help us to determine how best work with land managers and other interested parties in delivering and maintaining the Register. We are committed to working with a broad range of stakeholders in taking this work forward.
