The Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust works to make a positive difference in the quality of life for Lothian communities by improving their local environment. We believe that access to quality local greenspaces can have a positive impact on the health and well-being of individuals, particularly in disadvantaged areas. We work with communities, landowners, local authorities and other organisations, within urban and rural areas of Edinburgh and the Lothians, to create sustainable, well-managed and accessible greenspaces. We endeavour to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy their natural environment and work for the benefit of people, wildlife, landscape and heritage. The Trust provides a service to support local communities, local authorities and other land owners to help them develop and implement greenspace projects, including community engagement and participation, project planning, securing project funding, project and contract management, the organisation of community events and environmental awareness activities.
