The Community Woodlands Association was established in 2003 as the representative body of Scotland’s community woodland groups. There are around 200 groups across Scotland, involved in or responsible for the management of thousands of hectares of woodland and open space. Just over half own their woodlands, the remainder lease or work through a variety of formal and informal partnership arrangements.

West Stormont Woodland Group is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) formed with the specific aim of bringing Taymount Wood and Five Mile Wood into Community Ownership.

The Perth and Kinross Tree Warden Network is one of about 200 networks of volunteers across Britain, the whole idea having been started by The Tree Council in 1990 as a response to the huge loss of historic landscapes and trees following a series of severe gales. The Network has been entirely run by volunteers within the national scheme. It is supported by Scottish Forestry and the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership, contributing to targets and projects within the Tayside Biodiversity Action Plan (2nd Edition 2016-26).
