AN EAST Ayrshire green space received praise at a national awards ceremony celebrating Scotland’s woodlands.
Euan Storrar was commended at Scotland’s Finest Woods Awards 2025 for Coille na t-Sealgair (Hunter’s Wood) in Sorn.
The woodland was one of two to earn a special mention in the Single Stand, Compartment or Small Wood category, with Forestry and Land Scotland claiming the Hunter Blair Trophy for Silvicultural Excellence for Braeval Forest in Aberfoyle.
Scotland’s Finest Woods Awards 2025 saw 10 trophies awarded in seven categories, with Rural Affairs Secretary Mairi Gougeon presenting the awards at the Scottish Parliament event.
Jean Nairn, executive director of Scotland’s Finest Woods, said: “This has been an exceptional year for Scotland’s Finest Woods Awards.
“From young foresters to crofters, commercial plantations to trees making our cities breathe, the work we have seen has been inspiring.
“Scotland’s woodlands and forests are growing stronger and better every year – it is great to be able to champion them and encourage more achievements in the future.”
