Creative Carbon
I have decided on creating my project around the forestry and Land Scotland ( https://forestryandland.gov.scot/what-we-do ) as I can tie it in well with one of my main interests and something that I shoot a lot of at the moment mountain biking, I have been using their facilities for years now and have always been impressed with how well kept and inviting their trails have been for both walkers and bike users well sign posted and well maintained.
“Many people think our work is timber production. That’s true – but it's only part of the story. We also develop renewable energy schemes, create and maintain trails and visitor facilities and conserve habitats, wildlife and archaeological treasures.”
For this project I will be focusing more when shooting on their woodlands, trails and wild life centres as I regularly use them.
Thanks to forestry and Land Scotland, Scotland is one of the best places on the planet for mountain biking. The network of exhilarating and challenging world-class trails forests have made the country a big hit on the mountain biking world map, and continuing to encourage many different users of all ages to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
The Forestry and Land Scotland offers a huge range of different trail centres encouraging all different age groups and different skill levels including centres at Balblair, Carron valley, Dalbeattie, forrest of Ae, Glen-tress, Glentrool, Innerleithen and many more different Forrests offering a great day out.
Throughout my range of images I hope to demonstraight and show the big part of what companies like these are doing for us and the planet making a change and getting outdoors in our natural fascinates more easily.
Throughout my shots for this brief I tried to show how these amazing spaces and facilities for us created and protected by the forestry and Land Scotland are used and how great they are to experience.
But not only Forrests that the forestry and land Scotlands interests go to but also playing a huge part in in Climate change in fact Scotland’s forests and land are key in fighting the impact of the Climate Emergency and biodiversity loss. “We’re already adapting how we work, but there are more opportunities to take action across our forests and land. And only by putting nature at the heart of our actions can we truly make a difference. To do this, we're using nature-based solutions and ensuring that biodiversity is a focus in everything we do. We manage 9% of Scotland: our work will go a long way to creating a sustainable country and reaching Net Zero.”
