Webinar series looks at land reform and community engagement
The Scottish Land Commission has launched Land Links, a new webinar series designed to boost awareness of land reform and land rights.
The series of 45-minute webinars are free to join with the first session at 7pm on Tuesday 29 October providing background on why land reform matters with future sessions tackling community and landowner collaboration, opportunities for community ownership and practical steps for engaging landowners.
The webinars will provide an introduction for anyone with an interest in land use and ownership in Scotland and provide an opportunity to talk to the Commission’s Good Practice Team and guest speakers who are involved in inspiring land partnership projects.
Emma Cooper, head of land rights and responsibilities at the commission, said: “We’re excited to launch this new series of webinars to help make land ownership and use easier to understand for everyone. Land reform is at a crucial point, and it has the potential to tackle important issues like access to land for housing and business. We want to give people the knowledge and tools they need to get involved and make a real difference.
“We hope these sessions will spark interest and encourage more people to engage with land reform and explore opportunities for communities to get involved.”
