Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is sowing the seeds for successful montane scrub restoration in the Angus Glens.

Three new conservation seed orchards have been created to ensure new trees planted in the high parts of the glens will be from stock that has originated from the area.

The local seed provenance – a reference to the original geographic location where the parent plants grow and the seeds were collected – will mean the next generation of trees will have genetics adapted to the local environmental conditions.
