Target Canopy Cover across GCR: 20%

Foxbar and Brediland

Foxbar lies within the locale of Paisley, bordered by the Gleniffer Braes to the south, and Paisley town centre to the north. The area is mostly residential areas and has grown rapidly in recent years to be one of the largest housing areas in Paisley.

It has been selected as a target neighbourhood due to canopy cover sitting at 17.3%%, is the ambition to increase the urban across the whole of Glasgow City Region to 20%. A total of 31 whips (small trees) and 9 standards (large trees) have been planted in Foxbar & Brediland to date.

Work to date

Foxbar and Brediland has been identified as an area with low canopy cover that could benefit from tree planting.

To date, 31 whips and 9 standards were planted by Renfrewshire Council along Mannering Road. The trees will have a positive impact on the urban environment by providing a cooling effect in heatwaves, carbon storage, surface water management, and a place for wildlife.

1000 Trees Campaign

Foxbar & Brediland was selected as a target neighbourhood because of the low canopy cover, estimated at just 17.3%. The combination of local canopy cover and data on deprivation from the SIMD indicates that this area would be most at risk from climate events that can be mitigated by increased canopy cover.

Our ‘1000 trees’ campaign will continue to focus on delivering neighbourhood level trees where they are most needed. Over the coming months and years we will work to reach our target of planting 1000 trees across Foxbar & Brediland.
