Making liveable places in the CSGN involves improving access to quality greenspace for people, while restoring and creating habitats that help tackle the biodiversity crisis. Towards the end of last year, this project in Shotts Nature Park delivered on both fronts.

[Green Action Trust @GreenActionT]
