Commu Community Wood oodland Assoc ociation on Con Conference • Presentation of Skyline • Aims and • Engagement process • Welsh Legal framework • Bob Frost, Scottish Forestry Commissioner / “Forestry Strategy” • Megan MacInnes, Scottish Land Commissioner / “New Rights Act” • Field trips to Abriachan Forest Trust, Aigas Forest Trust and Evanton Wood Community Company
SHARED context • Places shaped by the industrial past and post- industrial present – an opportunity to redefine these identities • Mixed or limited relationship to the surrounding landscape – a chance to reconnect • Initiative fatigue – need to be rooted and creative • Strong senses of community and active community groups at different stages of maturity – need to reflect and build upon local capacity
Shared approach • A licence to dream – stimulating rich ideas • Focus on community assets (not deficit model) • Aim to empower and give control to community • Connect economic, social and environmental issues • Support local knowledge and aspirations with appropriate technical expertise • Continuous engagement with the communities
Ways of working • Open – sharing and learning together • Respectful of different experiences and forms of knowledge • Inclusive – seeking to connect to marginalised groups • Rooted in and driven by the people and places • Objectives to emerge from the discussions not be set in advance
Project Success factors • Reconnect people and landscape • Empower the community – genuine voice and control • Generate ideas for new community use of natural resources • Propose options for management of landscape for multiple community benefit • Retain benefits within the communities
Re-membering … that which has been dismembered Re-visioning … how the future could be Re-claiming … what is needed to bring it about Alastair McIntosh’s Rubric of Community Regeneration, Rekindling Community: Connecting People, Environment, and Spirituality
