Some of the key findings from the report were that common good land users are: 

• Generally managing small parcels of land (although some operate at a significant scale) 
• Most often working on woodland, horticultural land, or parks/open space (and in many cases on more than one type of land) 
• Highly dependent on freelance or part-time staff and volunteers 
• Usually working with small budgets and surpluses 
• Earning income through selling products and services, but also reliant on grants and fundraising 
• Managing a mix of legal organisational forms and relationships to the land 
• Part of vibrant and effective local networks and relationships, and drawing on their local community for advice and support 
• Needing external support for more technical issues such as legal advice, but are most in need of more skilled staff and secure funding streams
