Millennium Forest for Scotland Millennium Awards

In addition to the woodland restoration projects, some 300 people undertook a personal project to celebrate the millennium as part of the Millennium Forest for Scotland Millennium Award Scheme. Awards of around £3000 from the Millennium Commission were granted to individuals who put forward imaginative ideas for woodland projects that provided both personal development and community benefit. To see details of awards please select a category from above.

The MFS Millennium Award Scheme was designed to complement the aims of the Millennium Forest initiative by:

	Re-establishing the social, cultural and economic links between communities and their local woodlands and
	Assisting in the development of a strong network which will continue to promote and support native woodland restoration well into the future

The Millennium Award scheme was actively supported by the Forestry Commission and Scottish Natural Heritage.
