Members of our local and wider communities joined forces earlier in the month to plant a row of native hedgerow species as part of efforts to improve habitat connectivity and availability across Inchinnan. Armed with spades and saplings, volunteers planted up over 100-metres of double hedge on the day - comprising of a mix of native hedgerow species including hawthorn, blackthorn, field maple, alder, bird cherry, hazel, dog rose and elder. As these saplings mature, they will

This is part of wider efforts across Inchinnan to support this red-listed species. Big thank you to the Climate Change Champions for constructing the boxes and our wildlif
