Happy International Day of Forests.
Â
As a nation, Scotland loves its forests, and we have plenty of them. We walk in them, camp in them, bike through them, forage in them, and work in them.
Â
Forests give us so much. They purify our water, clean the air, capture carbon to fight climate change, provide food and life-saving medicines, and improve our well-being. I’m sure you’d agree it’s only fair that we all do our bit to look after these precious natural resources.
Â
International Forest Day is all about bringing everyone’s attention to our forests and you can find out more about the kinds of things you can do with friends, family, colleagues or anyone to help do your bit, or join existing events around the UK and the World.
