Community Land Scotland Annual Conference: Sharing Scotland's Land Wealth

This year the conference will focus on how Scotland can create a fairer society, when land ownership in our rural areas, towns and cities remains the privilege of the few. What impact is this having on people and communities’ access to land and housing? What more can we all do to use Scotland’s land more sustainably? The event will focus on how Scotland can make a just transition to net zero and the role of community owned land and buildings in generating community wealth and confidence.

Farmers, crofters and land managers now have access to the new guidance on financial support for activity that will improve awareness of their climate performance.
