A fantastic new project is taking place within Edinburgh City – the Edinburgh Living Landscape
The Edinburgh Living Landscape (ELL) is a groundbreaking initiative which brings together the collective expertise of the City of Edinburgh Council, Scottish Wildlife Trust, Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust, GREENSURGE and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). Through working in partnership across the city, the Edinburgh Living Landscape intiative aims to create, restore and connect green spaces within the city, bringing about dynamic and transformational change to the urban environment to benefit both biodiversity and residents and visitors to the city.
The Edinburgh Living Landscape scheme launched here at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and was attended by the Minister for Local Government and Planning, Derek Mackay MSP.
