The Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership has been established to oversee the development of the green network. It brings together eight local authorities, Scottish Enterprise Metro West, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Communities Scotland and Glasgow Centre for Population Health.
The four themes of the Green Network Programme are:
- Health Improvement
- Biodiversity and Environment
- Stronger Communities
- Enterprise Development
The Green Network Partnership is involved in a growing number of projects in Glasgow such as the Clyde Waterfront Regeneration Project, encouraging the creation of greenspace as part of the regeneration process. Then there are smaller scale neighbourhood projects, encouraging the creation and management of local greenspace.
As well as the environmental improvements and health benefits, the greenspace initiatives can provide training and employment opportunities for local people and help support social enterprises
