Forest design principles
There are several reasons for introducing diversity into the forest landscape:
• Biodiversity – creating a variety of habitats
• Economic – extending species and age spread to maximises the range of potential timber products in an evolving market…

Forest design principles
• Climatic change – introducing species diversity to reduce risk to disease and insect damage, limit fire hazard
• Structural stability – increasing the percentage of continuous cover will maintain canopy cover, reducing the impact of extreme climatic events
• ‘Achieving Diversity in Scotland’s Forest Landscapes’ (FCS Practice Guide).

Forest design principles
Visual diversity refers to the number of different elements in a landscape or in a forest
Visually diverse forests are usually more visually appealing, but the level of diversity should be appropriate to:
• The landscape character
• How the forest is used.

Forest design principles
We have already looked briefly at how diversity of open space and species pattern can be used to reflect landform shape and landscape scale.

We will now look more closely at how visual diversity can be used in forest design
What sort of existing features of the landscape can we use to add visual diversity to a forest?

Workshop 3
Identify and explore options for introducing visual diversity into your new planting proposal to reflect the scale of the landscape and how it changes
Sketch a species pattern which also reflects what you have learnt about shape and scale.
