RSFS were instrumental in co-ordinating a broad group of interested stakeholder organisations when the Scottish Government wanted to introduce new organisational arrangements for forestry in Scotland (including splitting FCS).
Getting SG and the Forestry Minister around the table to discuss improvements to the SG proposals was a good outcome. The result remains to be seen but RSFS certainly did their bit in terms of at least trying to improve the SG proposals.
