Supporting Flagship Action 4: Clyde Climate Forest

More trees will help Glasgow City Region adapt to increased rainfall and provide cooling during heatwaves. It will help create a just transition from fossil fuel reliance locking up large amounts of carbon while providing more woodland habitat for wildlife.

Over the next decade, the Clyde Climate Forest aims to plant 18 million of the right trees in the right places in both urban and rural parts of Glasgow City Region, spanning from Greenock to Lanark. It has been endorsed by the Council Leaders of all eight authorities and will connect and enhance the woodland network across local authority boundaries benefiting people, wildlife and climate.

The project was born out of the Green Network Blueprint and is part of the Strategic Habitat Network. Find out more about the Clyde Climate Forest here.
