Scottish Land Commission Highlights Need for Land Use Reform

The Scottish Land Commission has published a blog post which references their Board’s recent visit to Galloway and included trips to the Upper Urr Environmental Trust near Corsock and the Carsphairn Community Woodland Group at Muirdrochwood.

In the post, SLC CHair Andrew Thin said:

"There is no reason why new investment in Scotland’s natural capital should not be an opportunity to accelerate the shift to greater community ownership and decision-making. We will need to be deliberate in creating the expectation and the means for this to happen but the prize – widespread consensual support for the changes that are about to happen – is huge."
