The woodlands of Glasgow have the capacity to deliver social, environmental and economic benefits to the City and its citizens. The Woodland Unit aims to maximise these benefits for both existing and future generations, by facilitating the creation of a sustainable and accessible City wide woodland resource.

The City Woodland Unit is engaged in:

• Working with woodland owners to bring woodlands under management
• Working with partners to bring more funding into Glasgow's woodlands
• Increase the involvement of citizens in the management of their woodlands
• Provide accessible woodlands
• Increase the biodiversity of woodlands
• Increase the utilisation of timber from Glasgow's woodlands
• Promote the health benefits of Glasgow's woodlands
• Promote the environmental education opportunities of Glasgow's woodlands
