Timber hauliers in Scotland are to benefit from £4m in funding that will go towards new haulage routes, passing places and decarbonising the forestry sector, writes Chris Tindall.
Around seven million tonnes of timber is transported from Scotland’s forests to sawmills and processing plants and the funding announced by the Strategic Timber Transport Fund will support the industry in finding ways to manage this effectively, whilst minimising the effects on communities.
Transport projects in Argyllshire, Perthshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Scottish Borders, Ayrshire and the Highlands will all share in the funding.
