The Forres Community Woodlands Trust (FCWT) is a company limited by guarantee and a registered Scottish charity and is managed by a Board of Trustees drawn from members of the local community. The Trust was formed in 1999 to buy part of the Muiry Woods, an area of former common good land immediately to the east of Forres, and to conserve it for the benefit of the local community.
In 2002 - thanks to overwhelming support and financial assistance from the local community and other sources - the FCWT succeeded in purchasing the Sanquhar Woodlands, another area of highly attractive and well loved woods on the southern fringe of Forres.
