Greenhead Moss Community Trust is a community led partnership that manages
Greenhead Moss Community Nature Park in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, southern Scotland.
The Community Nature Park covers over 110 hectares and was once a landfill
and opencast site with remnants of lowland raised bog, woodland and grassland habitats. After extensive reclamation
activities, we now manage the site for biodiversity, access, health & education programmes on behalf of the local
community.
Our work on site includes providing volunteering and training opportunities, environmental
education programmes, regular health walks and events for all ages and abilities.

Join
us now at the Earthship site! Come and join us for a different
kind of volunteer day. We'll need lots of help to fill the tyres that will make up our earthship's tyre wall.
It's a great job for getting a sense of achievement and an easy skill to learn. In the future, you can be standing there
admiring the finished building and knowing that you helped build it. Volunteer days are
available for adults, families, companies and groups giving everyone an opportunity to be part of something remarkable
and special. To register as a volunteer, fill in the free membership form, tick the earthship
box and send it in to us. We'll add you to our update list. You can also check our earthship page on this site for dates
we are on site. See our 'support us' page for the downloadable membership from.
New
trees will give long term benefits to people and wildlife. Our volunteers have been busy
planting up two new areas of trees. We received funding from the Tree Council and also from Central Scotland Forest
Trust for new plantings. We have planted a mixture of fruit bearing trees. This includes large species of apples,
plums and cherries including a 'Cambusnethan Pippin', a specialist tree of the Clyde Valley Orchards. Once they
bear fruit, we are happy for people to pick them as long as they leave some for nature. We have also received 50
native parkland species trees from Amey Roads. These were planted by our volunteers along with staff from Amey Roads.
They include large parkland species such as oak, ash, elm, yew, scots pine and horse chestnut.
