Residents across North Lanarkshire are being asked to vote for their favourite environmental projects from a shortlist compiled from public suggestions.
Ideas range from sowing wildflower meadows and installing bird boxes to planting new trees and restoring ponds; with the top five following the current online vote being the first to be progressed in its £50,000 nature restoration fund initiative.
A total of 18 projects are included in the poll after North Lanarkshire Council invited communities to submit ideas to improve nature and biodiversity increasing habitats and greenspaces and helping the local environments “become more resilient to climate change while creating more sustainable areas”.
