Who we are and what we do
Carts Greenspace has been established to help the people of Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire to transform
the open spaces that surround their homes, schools and work places into greenspaces that will be cherished by the whole
community. Carts Greenspace delivers the "Central Scotland Green Network" and the
"Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network" initiatives at a local level. The team's work follows eight
guiding principles: Encouraging community participation and ownership Enhancing biodiversity Improving
existing landscapes and eliminating degraded ones Encouraging people to use greenspace to improve 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 can become involved in a wide variety of projects, ranging from formal urban gardens to
overgrown wildlife wilderness...
