Woodland Design Guide

This document contains guidance from the Orkney Woodland Project on choosing and establishing trees for woodland projects in Orkney. It explains which native, British and non-native species suit different sites, how to consider local seed sources, soil, shelter and landscape design, and when permission may be needed to collect seed or plant in protected areas. It also covers buying and planting young trees, weed control, fencing, guards and the monitoring and maintenance needed for up to five years.
