What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to review the operation of the Woodland Creation scheme and:
* make it mandatory that all new deer fencing is marked with wooden droppers where necessary as it is erected to help prevent bird strike
* require all work on these schemes to be stopped or paused by the end of March to protect ground nesting birds
* require NatureScot to carry out initial and annual Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to consider what effects woodland creation is having on resident wildlife
* ensure any recipient of a forestry grant who then puts the forest up for sale must return the grant in full when sold.
