Woodland Creation formed part of the Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) 2007 - 2013. The SRDP is a programme of economic, environmental and social measures, utilising European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development funding plus Scottish Government match funding. The RDC-RP programme was designed to support rural Scotland between 2007 and 2013. Individuals and groups could seek funding to help deliver the Government's strategic objectives in rural Scotland.
Woodlands are a vital sustainable natural resource and funding aimed to encourage the creation of new woodlands with grants that will contribute to the cost of their establishment.
Within Rural Priorities there were eight woodland creation options.
Productive conifer woodland (low cost)
Productive conifer woodland (high cost)
Productive broadleaved woodland
Native Woodlands
Naturally regenerated native woodland
Mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland
Northern & Western Isles Native Woodland
Central Scotland Mixed Woodland
The woodland creation boundary polygons in this dataset represent the total area covered by a single application and may encompass several different planting options and claim years.
More details on specific options within a case can be found in the Woodland Creation Options - RDC dataset.

dataset
This dataset is maintained by Scottish Forestry Geo-Information Services. The data capture is based on OS maps supplied by applicants for Woodland Creation funding. Maps from approved RDC-RP contracts are scanned and uploaded into the SRDP system. The scans are geo-rectified and digitised by Geo-Information Services.
Geo-Information Services interpret the woodland creation model boundaries using RPID field boundaries, Ordnance Survey MasterMap, aerial photography and other relevant datasets where required (e.g. previous grant scheme data).
****PLEASE NOTE*****
This dataset is now archived and is 95% complete in terms of the number of approved cases captured
