Annual planting targets were increased to 12,000 hectares last year and will rise to 18,000 hectares in 2024/25.
Foresters, farmers and land managers are expected to have created around 13,000 hectares of new woodland by the end of the current financial year, covering an area larger than 22,000 football pitches.
Scotland is leading the way in tree-planting across the UK with 82 per cent of all new UK forests.
Planting trees helps battle climate change as well as providing jobs and income.
The forestry sector supports around 25,000 jobs in Scotland and generates £1 billion for the economy each year.
