Public engagement project

Exploring engagement with Dundee Wee Forests and green spaces

Under a wider national Wee Forest programme supported by NatureScot, a total of four Dundee Wee Forests were planted in 2022 and 2023.

Status

Active

Start date

March 2021

These Wee Forests are used by the local community in a variety of ways. This research was commissioned by NatureScot to identify how school and medical practice stakeholders engage with their Wee Forests and for those who do not have access to Wee Forests, their local green spaces.

This was done by conducting detailed mapping of the Wee Forests and local green spaces in the Dundee Local Authority area and conducting research to understand the use of the Wee Forests and local green spaces by Dundee primary schools and the two participating medical practices.
