Historic Scotland is currently seeking views on its proposed policies for these historic sites – many of which include historic and ancient trees.


find out about the consultation which closes on 23 June 2006. For details and documents visit their website
www.historic-scotland.gov.uk


The draft Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) paper invites views on Scottish Ministers’ policies for gardens and designed landscapes in respect of their identification and protection, the management of change, and how Historic
Scotland will implement these policies. It also poses a number of questions on which Scottish Ministers wish to consult about the future protection of gardens and designed landscapes.

Gardens and designed landscapes are an invaluable resource for the people of Scotland and for others who visit. Scottish Ministers believe the quality of this resource, at its best, to be of importance on a national and international level. Ministers believe, too, that there is a
duty to pass this asset on to future generations in good condition, so that they might enjoy them.

Please register your views and raise awareness of the importance of heritage trees in such landscapes.
