“Springburn Park is a jewel of enlightened Victorian landscape design, but sadly it has been left to decline for many years. I am delighted that Springburn Winter Gardens Trust is partnering with SUGi to fundamentally rethink the role of the urban park in the context of the climate emergency, with a visionary scheme to introduce a forestry project involving local schools. City parks can no longer just be ornamental landscapes, but will increasingly have a front line role to play in reducing carbon emissions and reinforcing sustainable urban living.”

Paul Sweeney MSP, Chair of Springburn Winter Gardens Trust
