RDC Woodland Creation Boundary 2007-2013 Edit

Woodland Creation formed part of the Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) 2007 - 2013. This SRDP was a programme of economic, environmental and social measures, utilising some €680m of European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development funding plus Scottish Government match funding. This programme was designed to support rural Scotland from 2007 to 2013. Individuals and groups were able to seek funding to help deliver the Government's strategic objectives in rural Scotland. Woodlands are a vital sustainable natural resource and funding aims to encourage the creation of new woodlands with grants that will contribute to the cost of their establishment. Within Rural Priorities there are eight woodland creation options. Productive conifer woodland (low cost) Productive conifer woodland (high cost) Productive broadleaved woodland Native Woodlands Naturally regenerated native woodland Mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland Northern & Western Isles Native Woodland Central Scotland Mixed Woodland The woodland creation boundary polygons in this dataset represent the total area covered by a single application and may encompass several different planting options and claim years. More details on specific options within a case can be found in the Woodland Creation Options - RDC dataset. For more detailed information please see the metadata record on Scotland's SpatialData.gov.scot Metadata Portal.
