Green Aspirations Scotland was established as a Community Interest Company in 2013.
We work with different groups of people – community groups, young adults, school pupils, kids and crafters – to develop traditional green woodworking skills, create an appreciation of the woodlands, and encourage sustainable and healthy environments. We aim to support people to care for their environment and themselves.
