The Carts Greenspace organisation works with local people to create, transform and improve greenspaces within and near all towns and villages in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and the south-west corner of Glasgow.

Carts Greenspace has worked on a wide variety of projects in recent years, including:

• design and construction of community gardens
• school grounds improvements
• creation of wildlife areas and nature reserves
• tree planting projects
• construction of footpaths and cycleways
• clean up campaigns
• promotion of interesting sites through leaflets and art projects

Carts Greenspace was set up to deliver Scottish Natural Heritage's (SNH) Greenspace for Communities initiative at a local level. It supports SNH guiding principles by :

• encouraging community participation and ownership
• enhancing biodiversity
• improving existing landscapes and eliminating degraded ones
• encouraging people to use greenspace for their health and for informal recreation
• fostering understanding and appreciation of the environment
• promoting community economic development
• creating opportunities for employment, training, work experience and volunteering
• developing community pride

Carts Greenspace is actively seeking to support innovative projects led by the community, so its staff want to hear from you.
