NEWSFLASH! SUP AGM + Launch of the Forests and Woodlands of the South of Scotland: A Vision for enhanced Environmental and Community Benefits - 26th November 2025, The Buccleuch Centre, Langholm, DG13 0AW

You are invited to join the Southern Uplands Partnership and members of the Environmental Alliance of the South of Scotland for the launch of an important and timely new paper, setting out our vision and recommendations for Forests and Woodlands in the South of Scotland.

2026 will bring Scottish Parliament elections, as well as the development of new Forest and Woodland Strategies by both Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway Councils, so the time is ripe to begin to explore how policymakers, foresters, communities, and NGO’s can better work together to increase environmental and community benefits from our forests and woodlands.

Prof. Jaboury Ghazoul will outline his global and local experience of pioneering approaches to collaborative land-use planning, in complex multi-stakeholder contexts.

The afternoon will also include the Southern Uplands Partnership’s annual general meeting, networking and refreshments.
