Role of the group

The One Million Acre Strategic Implementation Group was set up in 2016 to:

• monitor the implementation of the actions from the One Million Acre Short-Life Working Group's final report: One million acres by 2020: strategy report and recommendations
• develop a strategic approach to raising awareness of community land ownership
• improve co-ordination of existing support activities and identify areas for greater collaboration
• develop a framework of outcomes and indicators that can be used to measure the success of community land ownership and the one million acre target

Highlands and Islands Enterprise have produced a video that looks at the achievements and aspirations of the community land movement.
