'''Dunnet Forest''' in [Dunnet](/source/Dunnet), [Caithness](/source/Caithness), [Scotland](/source/Scotland), is the most northerly [community woodland](/source/community_woodland) on the UK mainland, and has been managed since 2003 by [Dunnet Forestry Trust](/source/Dunnet_Forestry_Trust).

The forest was planted by the [Forestry Commission](/source/Forestry_Commission) in the mid-1950s, and later transferred to [Scottish Natural Heritage](/source/Scottish_Natural_Heritage).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Krachler |first1=Regina |last2=Krachler |first2=Rudolf F. |last3=Wallner |first3=Gabriele |last4=Steier |first4=Peter |last5=El Abiead |first5=Yasin |last6=Wiesinger |first6=Hubert |last7=Jirsa |first7=Franz |last8=Keppler |first8=Bernhard K. |title=Sphagnum-dominated bog systems are highly effective yet variable sources of bio-available iron to marine waters |journal=Science of the Total Environment |date=June 2016 |volume=556 |pages=53–62 |doi=10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.03.012|doi-access=free |pmid=26971209 |bibcode=2016ScTEn.556...53K }}</ref>
