The centre intends to work with a range of partners in Scotland, Europe, and globally to provide the critical interdisciplinary knowledge and training for the sustainable management of forested landscapes, while delivering new opportunities for economic growth and development. The Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes will provide a hub for networking and collaboration, to catalyse the development and evaluation of new ideas, processes and technologies.
