Greenspace Development

We aim to protect and enhance urban greenspaces and countryside throughout North Lanarkshire.

We will:

Consult with the local community on improvements to local greenspaces.
Implement habitat improvement projects, such as woodland improvement, peat bog restoration, and pond creation.

Maintain a Core Path Plan for North Lanarkshire and create new and improved paths.

Cooperate with partners in the Local Biodiversity Action Plan for the needs of wildlife, conservation of habitats, and enjoyment of people.

Provide help to community groups and schools with environmental projects including
Eco-Schools, Forest Schools and Community Parks.

Promote environmental education, wildlife monitoring and site protection through the work of the Countryside Ranger Service.

Deliver initiatives to improve health and wellbeing through access to greenspace, including the Branching Out and Get Walking Lanarkshire projects.

Provide an arboriculture service to maintain trees on council land.
