We hire over 1000 people in diverse roles. Our talented team is proud to care for Scotland’s forests and land, in an organisation that supports and includes everyone.

We are the largest provider of outdoor recreation in Scotland. We want everyone to enjoy Scotland’s wild places. We work to increase accessibility and to support communities.

We're accountable to the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands. We follow and support the:

•  Civil Service Code 
•  Scottish Government’s diversity and inclusion strategy. 

Our mainstreaming reports and equality outcomes

Our Mainstreaming Report 2023-2025 reviews progress on these outcomes.

We've four equality outcomes for 2023 to 2027:

1. Our workforce increases in diversity to reflect the communities we serve and the general population of Scotland.

2. Staff from and across all protected characteristics feel increasingly safe and included.

3. Our policies, processes and practises continue to have a positive impact on equality and people from and across protected characteristics. We outline our work on integrating equality impact assessments (EIAs) across the organisation.

4. Our sites and services are increasingly accessible and inclusive. The removal of barriers is continued to ensure people from all backgrounds and communities can enjoy Scotland’s national forests and land.

Our Equality Impact Assessments

The Equality Act 2010 Public Sector Equality Duty applies to us. We produce EIAs on policies and services that affect the public or staff.
