02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our Charity is set up make people aware of the beautiful countryside all around this area. We want to make this designated green space easily accessible for everyone to visit and enjoy. We hold weekly health walks in partnership with NHS Scotland. We hold various types of events such as litter picks, craft and Easter events. Our area holds many secret walks not many people know about! Ancient forests, Walled gardens, The Monkland canal was born here with the North Calder water running alongside it. Ancient forests that hide mystical ruins of the mansion house of the Woodhall estate, an ancient walled garden and much more. We would like to turn our local green space into a nature park. It already hosts a wide variety of wildlife including endangered species and rare fauna and flora.
