- Summary
- COI synopsis: Land and mining are primary industries but only land can reproduce from itself. 90% of Scotland was once forest land, now only 10% is. So the Forestry Commission is bringing the trees back to whole areas of land that are now barren, in order to provide for an ever growing industry. This week Maggie Palmer is in Glentress Forest in Scotland.
