🌳 Great to see the good practice guide for engagement with local people and communities in new woodland creation proposals published.

Well done to @forestsandwood for bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders to create a guide that’s truly embedded in the industry and supports meaningful community engagement.

We encourage more of this collaborative approach to promote responsible woodland creation.

Great to be involved in this event yesterday, swapping perspectives with landowners

[Scottish Land Commission @ScottishLandCom]

Exciting day ahead for our Good Practice Team as they meet with @ScotLandEstates members in the South East of Scotland for a robust discussion on land reform, rights, and responsibilities.

This afternoon they will be hearing from four local case studies that highlight fantastic examples of transparency and community engagement.

Partnership events like this are important for sharing insights and learning from different approaches to land management 🏔
