#TopTipTuesday from the FCL Team. Participants on our Collaborative Practice Webinar said that the hardest thing to manage in a meeting are dominant individuals. Good meetings don’t happen by chance, they are carefully planned and delivered. foundationforcommonland.org.uk/webinars

Put people at the centre. Despite making up just 3% of England, 39% of all open access land can be found on common land and 82% of commons are in National Parks and Protected Landscapes. #TopTipTuesday #commonland

Building climate resilience is one of the most pressing challenges for commons. Our Upland Commons projects demonstrated how this can be delivered on common land. #climate #climateresilience #commonland #OurUplandCommons #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Success on commons requires the involvement of all stakeholders. Everyone has something important to bring to the table and working collaboratively will deliver more on commons for people, climate and nature. #collaboration #commonland

People are at the heart of change. Start by, identifying stakeholders, and the diverse interests and motivations on each common. And then, find quick wins to help build momentum and goodwill, to kick-start collaboration. #TopTipTuesday #commonland
