The Green Network is an ambitious 20 year programme, which will link parks, walkways, woodlands and countryside along miles of path and cycle routes bringing a range of social, economic and environmental benefits to the Glasgow metropolitan region.
The Glasgow and Clyde Valley (GCV) Green Network Partnership brings together the eight regional local authorities, Communities Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Glasgow Centre for Population Health.
Our aim is to make the Glasgow metropolitan region one of Europe’s most attractive places to live, work and play through the creation of a large functional Green Network connecting our quality spaces from Greenock to Lanark and Cumbernauld to East Kilbride.
The GCV Green Network Partnership provides the strategic framework for the co-ordinated action needed to facilitate delivery of the Green Network across the whole region.
Intended outcomes 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, through provision of accessible quality greenspace.
