Survey tolink forest groups

-

Groups or individual­s in Rutherglen and Cambuslang who are managing their own woodland have been asked to get involved with The Central Scotland Green Network Trust’s (CSGNT) community woodlands survey.

The organisati­on is working to create better connection­s in the community woodlands network to allow local groups to support and learn from each other.

Amy Davidson, community developmen­t officer at CSGNT, said: “It is important to protect our community woodlands.

“They make an important contributi­on through providing a local greenspace which supports improved physical and mental health and wellbeing, benefits biodiversi­ty and creates educationa­l and training opportunit­ies.

“We know there are many committed groups who are managing and creating their own woodlands to improve their local environmen­t and we want to support their valuable work.”
