Built-in Resilience: Community Landowners' Responses to the Covid19 Crisis

Community Land Scotland (CLS) and the Community Woodlands Association (CWA) have published a report on the remarkable local efforts of Scotland’s community landowners in responding to the Covid19 crisis.

The report includes case studies from across the country, including Broadford and Strath Community Company on Skye, Peebles Community Trust in the Borders and Kinning Park Complex in Glasgow.

The report supports the call for a bold ‘Rural New Deal’, which would embrace further land reform, with a Scottish Land Fund supported by up to £20m a year, to help rebuild Scotland’s economy, plan a greener future and prepare local protection against any new emergency.
