SCOTTISH Forestry has published its first-ever Gaelic Language Plan, which it says demonstrates its commitment and support for the native language.
The new plan has been produced after a consultation period which sought views on how the agency could help promote and protect the Gaelic language.
Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the principal public body responsible for promoting Gaelic in Scotland, worked with forestry officials in the production of the new language plan.

Paul Lowe, chief executive at Scottish Forestry, said: “We are committed to the role that Scottish Forestry can play in enhancing the status, supporting the usage of and development of Gaelic language skills, both to further the aims of Bòrd na Gàidhlig and to assist in the delivery of the National Gaelic Plan.
“This new plan allows us to take stock of what we have achieved since becoming a Scottish Government Agency in 2019 and confirm our commitments to Gaelic for the next five years.”
