"Our research is critical to what the project is trying to achieve, and the project overall is a great opportunity for collaboration. We want to examine whether benefits arising from ecosystems do indeed change as a result of different types of interventions"

Researchers at the James Hutton Institute have become important partners in a project which aims to improve green spaces in a Lanarkshire town.

Cumbernauld Living Landscape, a partnership between the Scottish Wildlife Trust, North Lanarkshire Council, Conservation Volunteers, Sanctuary Scotland and the James Hutton Institute, has received funding to develop its Creating Natural Connections project. The four-year initiative aims to make the town's woods, parks and open spaces better for wildlife and residents.
