A new Forestry Commission report has been published looking at ways to improve woodland biodiversity. Glen Affric in Inverness-shire is seen as an example of the restoration work already undertaken

The Forestry Commission is helping a project to locate aspen populations in the Cairngorms and identify potential seed sources

Large expanses of woodland around the River Clyde are among the areas which will benefit from the improvement plans

Deer are highlighted in the report as one of the biggest potential threats to biodiversity

The report says that biodiversity is an issue across the country as an urban woodland at Drumchapel illustrates
