Ambitious forestry diversification goals in remote locations require us to think differently. Major obstacles are blocking forestry from becoming sustainable and diverse; chief among them are mindset, economics and geography. But these obstacles can be overcome.
Rebalancing a plantation in a remote area is not easy, not quick, nor economic (in the standard model). It is impractical (if not impossible) without on-site amenities for these operations. Frontier is overcoming practical and economic obstacles in the Scottish highlands having investing in this multi-purpose portable kit. The benefits are measurable. It benefits from multi-purpose design features that serve our ambitious sustainability goals. Its use significantly reduces costs, enables on-site productivity, and closes economic gaps.
It serves Frontier as an off-grid forestry HQ, and serves as an ecological visitor amenity too. Both create sustainable jobs and generate income for reinvestment. This is a circular economic forestry kit that provides high-quality amenity, designed to enable sustainable forestry operations anywhere. As mission-critical amenity, it enables productivity uplift; forestry activity that is economically and practically un-viable without. Frontier is also investing visitors’ income back into positive ecological projects and enterprise growth; all of which contribute directly to the local economy and policy objectives of forestry nationally. It makes forestry much more resilient, and shows foresters can respond positively to solve the crises.
Solutions are there to be discovered. The surrounding plantation was in an economic and ecological deadlock, boxed in by decisions made 50 years ago. This investment in innovation enables positive stewardship of the plantation, returning a deadlocked site to year-round productive use, and ecological transformation. It is a clear-cut example of how innovation can deliver several national forestry objectives, all in one go.
Like agriculture, foresters must embrace the principles of enterprise. Forestry can be more sustainable and can be more productive and can serve local communities much better, simply by letting go of ideologies on ‘how’.
