Community Wealth Building and what it means for Community Woodlands
Community Wealth Building is an approach to making local economies work for local people.
Date and time: to
Location: Online
Organisation: Community Woodlands Association
Instead of wealth being extracted from a place by outside interests, it focuses on ‘bottom-up’ action – enabling local partners to generate, retain and circulate economic, social and environmental wealth for the benefit of everyone who lives there.
The Community Sector in Scotland – the part of the third sector owned and run by local communities – is key to shaping the delivery of CWB.
The Community Wealth Building (Scotland) Act promises to rewire Scotland’s economy, but the test is whether it provides a lever for devolved decision-making and investment to the local level.
Local groups and organisations have been pioneering this work for decades – shaping fairer, more resilient places at a time when communities feel increasingly fragile.
In this webinar, Community Woodlands Association will explore why the woodland sector and the work being done locally should be at the forefront of shaping the future of community wealth building and how our collective work fits in this context.
Sharon Smith, Member Support Officer, along with Jill Keegan, from Scottish Community Alliance, and some representatives from member community woodland groups will explore this topic further.
