Meeting description: We showcased our Lang Craigs site during a tour to see native woodland expansion rhododendron ponticum erradication and deer management. We took the opportunity to raise the following Woodland Trust policy asks: that the Scottish Government needs to urgently implement the Deer Working Group recommendations; that there is a need for a strategy to set a clear aim targets and actions to eradicate rhododendron ponticum; and that local authorities need to be better resourced with tree and biodiversity officers in order to protect ancient woodland and trees from inappropriate development. Lastly we asked the Member to continue his support for public petition PE1812 a petition on protecting Scotland's remaining ancient native and semi-native woodlands and woodland floors.
