Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership | About Us

Overview

Our aim is to make the Glasgow metropolitan region one of Europe’s most attractive places to live, work and play. This will be done through the creation of a large functional Green Network. The GCV Green Network will connect our quality spaces from Greenock to Lanark and Cumbernauld to East Kilbride. To find out about the big picture – watch our video.

Intended outcomes of the GCV Green Network include:

increasing the attractiveness of the region as a location for business;
creating opportunities for health improvement;
building stronger, better connected communities; and
protecting and enhancing wildlife and the environment, by providing accessible quality greenspace.

The GCV Green Network Partnership co-ordinates action at a strategic level. This ensures local activity fits in to the big picture and all projects contribute to making the GCV Green Network happen.

Many organisations will play their part in helping to create and manage the GCV Green Network. These will include members of the Partnership, local regeneration companies, housing associations, third sector organisations, developers, local greenspace teams and local volunteers.
