What is Dundee TWIG?
Dundee Trees & Woods in Greenspace (TWIG) is a project which aims to improve the green environment in and around Dundee City. We work with local people, business and the community to bring about positive change.
How Can We Help?
We can help in a number of ways:
- Suggesting how greenspaces in your neighbourhood could be improved for people and wildlife…
- Providing advice on creating a garden for biodiversity or as a community asset…
- Information on local volunteering activity to help the environment…
- Developing ideas and action plans for conservation, access and habitat management…
- Setting up a new conservation, environmental group or community woodland…
- Places to get out and about around the Dundee area…
