Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust

Projects

Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust has been working since 1990 to develop quality and accessible greenspaces for everyone.

Over the past 21 years, we have raised over £11 million to deliver over 500 projects to improve the quality of life for people living and working in Edinburgh & Lothians.

Saughton Play Park

A new play area specifically designed for younger park users.

The Trust continues to create dynamic play areas for children, improve community woodlands, build hundreds of miles of paths and cycleways and create community gardens for residents to enjoy.

We deliver programmes of healthy living activities and environmental education workshops for adults and children.

We organise greenspace trips and events to make it easier for everyone to access their local greenspace and raise awareness of environmental issues.

We undertake heritage projects such as the restoration of Victorian viaducts, developing an important historical site at Carberry in East Lothian and the Mavisbank House project.
