À propos de ce contenu audio

Let’s Talk Better Forestry is a podcast for anyone who cares about how we do forestry – and how we might do it better. Hosted by Morag Paterson from the Forest Policy Group, this series takes a slower, more reflective look at the people, practices, and policies shaping Scotland’s woodlands today.

Through honest, thoughtful, and sometimes messy conversations, we go beyond the headlines to hear from the foresters, land managers, and thinkers working on the ground. Each episode is a chance to explore real experiences, big ideas, and the tensions that sit between them, with space for questions, disagreement, and a bit of laughter too.


Whether you're deep in the world of forestry or just forest-curious, we hope you'll find something here to spark your interest or maybe even shift your perspective.

      Ep.1 "Let's Talk Better Forestry" with Claire Wightman
      Oct 2 2025

      In this first episode of Let’s Talk Better Forestry, host Morag Paterson is joined by Claire Wightman, a forester at TreeStory, to explore what regenerative forestry really means in practice. Claire shares her journey into forestry, the ethos behind TreeStory’s work, and how their approach blends forest management with community collaboration, ecosystem restoration, and natural capital projects.

      They dive into the challenges and opportunities of continuous cover forestry, the importance of inclusive consultation with local communities, and the need for policy shifts to support long-term, landscape-scale thinking. Claire also reflects on diversity in the forestry sector and what the UK might learn from international examples like Canada.

      In this episode Claire mentions another podcast - Free to Grow in Forestry. Here is the link: https://pca.st/podcast/97d51ba0-9651-0139-7465-0acc26574db2 You may also be interested in their website: https://www.freetogrowinforestry.ca
