Commonwealth woodlands unveiled across Glasgow

Communities across the Glasgow area are being encouraged to head outdoors, get active and enjoy a new network of 13 Commonwealth Woods.

A legacy project of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the network includes woods that are well-established, boasting ancient trees and wildlife.

As well as newly-planted woods and a riverside park that has been created out of derelict land opposite the Commonwealth Games athletes’ village.

Each of the 13 Commonwealth Woods – from Lang Craigs and Overtoun Estate in West Dunbartonshire and Garscadden Woodland at Drumchapel, to Cathkin Braes, Castlemilk and Eastserhouse - provide outdoor spaces for people to enjoy free events and activities, get active or just to go for a walk in the fresh air.

To track down woods close to you a website www.commonwoods.org.uk has been launched where people can find out where their nearest wood is and discover what they can do and enjoy for free.

Peter sellers replied to T &T gardening services ltd's discussion Mulching Mowers
"We tried the grin but massively overpriced, the mulching performance no better than our 537HRX HY'S, not tried the Etesia but the HRX gives us the ability to collect when we need to without messing about with mulch plugs or swapping blades"
