The Scotland’s Finest Woods Awards - run by independent charity, Scotland’s Finest Woods - celebrate the contribution that woodlands can make to the people of Scotland and to its environment and economic prosperity. ? The underlying principle of the Awards is that people from across Scotland work hard to support their local communities and the environment, and the Awards provide a way to recognise and reward their achievements and so identify exemplars for others to follow. ? The annual Awards programme was first established in 1985. Since 2005 the Awards programme has been managed by a charity which operates as a not-for-profit company. Over time it has expanded to recgonise a wide range of woodland types and initiatives, including schools, new native woods, communitu and commercial woodlands, farm woodlands, climate change and early years projects, and most recently Urban Forestry in 2025.
