The Stirling mid-week volunteer group have been busy on a new woodland management project to make a series of natural locations more accessible to the public, and to promote the presence and development of a greater variety of wildlife in the future.
Based at Hogganfield Park (Glasgow), Craigend Woods (near Airdrie) and Auchinlea Park (Glasgow), the group have had an exciting range of environments for their green fingers to work with at these 7 Lochs sites.
Their initiative has included tree thinning, crown lifting and collecting litter.
TCV expects that the short term benefits of this project will be to improve the aesthetics and accessibility of these areas so that the public can access the land more easily and enjoy its beauty as well as its wildlife.
The long term goal is to promote biodiversity, by planting, nurturing and managing fresh or long-established habitats, so that new or existing plants and animals can be born and flourish in these enviroments.
