Join Scottish Forestry and Andrew Whiteford as he introduces us to Ulzieside Farm, a 3,500-acre hill beef and sheep farm near Sanquhar.

In this practical event, Andrew will share his family’s journey into woodland creation and the development of forest infrastructure, supported by the Forestry Grant Scheme’s Sheep and Trees grant. He will also discuss their recent tree felling experience, including the planning, challenges, and benefits involved. You will gain insights into the initial thought process behind these decisions, as well as the positive impacts on the farm’s operations.

A representative from Scottish Forestry will be present to discuss funding opportunities and the steps toward woodland creation.
