The Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust is an environmental charity which works to enhance the local environment, improving quality of life for those living and working in the area.
We develop sustainable, high quality & welcoming local greenspaces and green networks, which help to improve health and wellbeing. We practice partnership working, with communities, landowners, local authorities and other partners to improve the natural environment.
We strive for equal opportunities, social and environmental justice, so everyone can enjoy the natural environment. Our work benefits the people, wildlife, landscape and heritage of Edinburgh and the Lothians. We are resourceful, sustainable, environmentally aware and ethical.
