Encouraging responsible behaviours in woods and greenspace

Community Land Scotland and Community Woodlands Association jointly hosted this online event to share experiences and good practice from within our membership networks and beyond. The event included presentations from Evanton Wood Community Company, Viewpark Conservation Group and The Vat Run followed by a Q&A / discussion session.

The Community Woodlands Association was established in 2003 as the representative body of Scotland’s community woodland groups. There are around 200 groups across Scotland, involved in or responsible for the management of thousands of hectares of woodland and open space. Just over half own their woodlands, the remainder lease or work through a variety of formal and informal partnership arrangements. You can find CWA on Twitter and Facebook.
