02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are set up to promote Scotland's forest cover and culture. We do this primarily by providing educational publications and events for a network of members and the general public. Publications include books, studies, online resources and our journal, also called Reforesting Scotland. We host discussion groups on social media and our own 'Community Hub'. Our primary event is our annual Gathering, with other events such as local group outings and 'Hutters' Rallies' for the hutting movement. We have a small tree planting grant and provide respite stays for unpaid carers in a 'hut of wellbeing' in a forest in Fife.
