Review of Land Managed by Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS)

The Community Woodlands Association Scotland (CWA) warmly welcomes this review.  We regard this as one of the most important national forestry consultations for many decades, and are pleased to be invited to express our organisation’s views.

In addition to providing responses to the questions posed in the consultation, we have taken the opportunity to note our concerns surrounding the consultation process and our hopes for the follow-up. We also outline our vision for the forests and people of Scotland, and note the principles which we consider should inform this consultation and its outcomes.

We hope that this consultation signals the start of a process of inclusive partnership working, which will achieve significant benefits at a local and national level. The CWA wishes to play a full part, and accordingly offers its services as a partner in the post-consultation process.

In this regard, we look forward to developing a fruitful relationship.
