Robin Waddell, Acquisitions Agent & VDL Project Manager at Forestry and Land Scotland:
“The Forestry and Land Scotland Vacant and Derelict Land projects aim to re-green former open-cast coal sites and open up new, vibrant green spaces to help revitalise communities and local landscapes blighted by the legacy of open-cast mining. The project will also contribute towards national climate change ambitions, including targets for creating new woodlands, locking up carbon, and improving biodiversity.
From our initial meetings with Hargreaves Environmental Services five years ago, it was clear that we shared goals of regenerating these barren ex open-cast landscapes. Since then, we have worked closely to develop a partnership that sees Hargreaves Environmental Services remediate these moonscapes to our specification, which is designed to de-compact the “soils” and add sufficient nutrients to allow the free growth of trees. The sites are then transferred to us to develop the woodland.
Our long-term vision is to transform sites across South Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and in Fife by planting about 5,000,000 trees to create 2,500ha of vibrant and economically productive greenspace.
Our partnership with Hargreaves Environmental Services, and getting sites to the condition where they are ready to plant, is a huge step towards meeting that ambition".
