LUC’s Glasgow Claypits project has been shortlisted in the Health and Wellbeing category at RSPB Scotland’s prestigious Nature of Scotland Awards.

The Claypits project has transformed 17ha of post-industrial ‘Vacant and Derelict’ land into Glasgow’s only inner-city Nature Reserve. The project has provided a ‘wild’ greenspace that delivers significant health and wellbeing benefits for communities that have historically suffered from poor health statistics.

The Claypits project was announced as a finalist in the Health and Wellbeing category this week at a ceremony at the Scottish Parliament, the first in-person celebration for the Nature of Scotland Awards since 2019.

On 17 November, the finalists will gather at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre to enjoy a night of celebration, where the winners of all 10 categories will be announced.

Tickets for the awards ceremony are available from RSPB.
