The Scottish Woodlot Association
Rossal
Sutherland
Scotland
We are a forestry co-operative that is working to enable people to rent wood lots in Scotland.
The Scottish Woodlot Association was founded in 2012 by a group of forestry professionals to bring the Woodlot Licence system from British Columbia to Scotland, giving people a stake in their local forests.
People in Scotland have few opportunities to own their own forests, and, unlike farmers currently have no opportunity to rent land for forestry. Our Association aims to change this by bringing the Woodlot Licence concept to Scotland.
Woodlot Licences will enable individuals for the first time to lease woodland; to gain more experience in forestry and to share this experience with others in a co-operative way. Woodlot Licence holders would come from all sectors of society all placed on an equal footing within the association.
The Scottish Woodlot Association is an Industrial & Provident Society – a Co-operative.
