Commonwealth woodlands unveiled across Glasgow

Posted by Craig McGinty on June 12, 2013 at 4:03pm

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.

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

Graham Taylor replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging
"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"
