Ecology is the relationships that exist among living organisms in their natural environment.
Glasgow’s network of green spaces accounts for over a fifth of the City’s total area, and the importance of these to the health and attractiveness of the City has long been recognised by the City Council.
Many green spaces are so important for wildlife that they have been identified in the Council’s Wildlife and Nature Conservation Policy, which was first approved in 1989 and is now incorporated in the City Plan. Using this policy and its associated land use designations the Council seeks to protect, conserve and where necessary enhance, the areas important to wildlife within the City.
The City Council’s Land Services employ a team of Ecologists and Biodiversity Officers who promote public enjoyment of Glasgow’s natural resources and advise on their management and protection.
Countryside Rangers organise events and opportunities for community involvement in caring for the City’s natural heritage and Land Services Operations (Parks) are involved with many of the practical aspects of ecological management in Parks, Open Spaces and Local Nature Reserves
