This document discusses the Neroche Woodlanders, a community-run social enterprise that occupies 100 acres of woodland in Somerset, England. It started as a Forestry Commission-run landscape program but has since spun out to become independent while still being supported by the Forestry Commission. As a community benefit society and not-for-profit enterprise, Neroche Woodlanders relies on strong local community support and volunteers. It aims to deliver social well-being benefits and environmental gains from the publicly-owned woodland. However, there were also challenges in setting up this unconventional arrangement with the landowner, including concerns over liability, sharing access to timber, and dealing with a non-traditional contractor.
