This 2012 document provides guidance concerning community engagement and consensus building for those contemplating works on common land. Mainly written for lowland commons with no active graziers, where there is a range of stakeholders with no legal interest but a strong emotional interest—in recreation, natural history or archaeology, for instance. The principles can also be applied to actively grazed upland commons.

This report presents data from five upland commons across England to draw out the characteristics of the successful delivery of multiple outcomes over the same area of land.

Government guidance on managing common land, including how to know if land is common land, commoner and landowner rights over the land, and the groups you can set up to manage it.

This feasibility study was commissioned by the Foundation for Common Land to explore ways to create collaboration between commoners following a learning visit to some of Spain’s commons in 2010.
