1919 Forestry Act Centenary Award

This Award was a unique, one-off competition for 2019 only to mark the centenary of the 1919 Forestry Act sponsored by Scottish Forestry. This Act has helped influence the way Scotland’s trees, woods and forests have been managed and nurtured over the past 100 years and contributed to our lives, economy and environment providing a platform for further growth in the next century.
1919 Forestry Act Centenary Award

About

Our judges’ task was to find and reward the pursuit of excellence! The competition was open to an established woodland or a forest of at least 0.5ha (1.24 acres) in area, located anywhere in Scotland that had been created in the past 100 years. There was a £1,000 cash prize available and a specially commissioned trophy to mark this important centenary. Both were awarded at the discretion of the judges. The winner also received a certificate and a commemorative wooden display plaque recording their achievement as did those entries the judges deemed worthy of special commendations. The winning woodland/forest owner and/or woodland/forest manager as well as those commended were presented with their prizes on Friday, 21st June 2019 at the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston.
