RDC - Woodland Creation Options
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 was aimed to encourage the creation of new woodlands with grants that contributed 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 polygons in this dataset represent the areas which were approved for new planting. Data was captured by the woodland creation option type and by the year that planting was intended to take place (claim year).
A boundary which encompasses all the new planting options and claim years within a specific case is available in the Woodland Creation Boundary RDC dataset.

- Statement
-
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 cases captured.
