Location: Glasgow
Tree Canopy Cover: 6.3%
Target Canopy Cover across GCR: 20%
Bridgeton and Dalmarnock are districts to the east of Glasgow city centre. Many areas of Bridgeton & Dalmarnock lack good green infrastructure and the benefits it would bring to people and wildlife.
It is the ambition of the CCF project is to increase the urban across the whole of Glasgow City Region to 20%, to date 5 standards (large trees) have been planted in 2026 to help kickstart our '1000 trees' Campaign ambition.
A total of 5 standards were planted by Glasgow City Council in 2025 / 2026 to help us kickstart the 1000 tree campaign.
These standard trees were planted in Mackeith and Muslin Street to help improve canopy cover in climate vulnerable areas.
Bridgeton & Dalmarnock were selected because of low trees canopy cover at 6.3%. The combination of low canopy cover and data on deprivation from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation indicates that these areas would be most at risk from climate events that can be mitigated by increased canopy cover.
Our aim is to plant up to 1000 trees across Bridgeton & Dalmarnock. Will you help us?
