Community Woodlands Association CWA
Description
Celebrating, promoting and supporting Community Woodlands in Scotland.
'Every Community Deserves a Woodland'
A community woodland is one partly or completely controlled by the local community, through a Community Woodland Group. The woodland may be owned or leased by the group, or managed in partnership with another organisation, such as Forestry Commission Scotland.
From small beginnings in the late 1980’s, there are now over 200 groups across Scotland, involved in or responsible for the management of thousands of hectares of woodland and open space. New groups continue to form, encouraged by the Land Reform legislation and the National Forest Land Scheme.
