Who We Are...

The Scottish Forestry Trust is the leading Charitable Trust providing funds for research, education and training in support of UK Forestry.

Established in 1983 by a gifting of share capital, the Trust is a registered charity (Scottish Charity No. SCO08465) and has a remit to provide private sector funds to support research and education throughout the UK forestry industry.  Since 1983, we have provided nearly £2m in support of around 140 projects ranging from supporting post graduate industry applied research, social and environmental forestry,  policy formulation and broader public education and awareness.

What We Do...

The Scottish Forestry Trust supports people financially with grant funding to assist work which involves education, research or training that will lead to the development of UK forestry.  With assistance from the Forestry Commission, our new Bursary Scheme will help to fund post graduate and masters degrees tackling many of the key issues affecting the future of forestry in this country.

Our Annual Report gives a flavour of the projects and initiatives we support and the latest report can be viewed here.

Help us to do more...

Whilst our support funds are mainly drawn from the careful investment of our original share capital from 1983, we always want to do more.
