#NTC Transforming Fife’s Greenspace

The climate and nature crises threaten human society. Urban parks and greenspaces foster vital connections with nature. Fife Council is transforming in response to this, and wider financial challenges. Building a partnership around innovative ways to deliver, and fund green/blue spaces to become regenerative systems, delivering environmental, social and economic outcomes. The #Transforming Fife’s Greenspace vision is for Fife to be a leader in urban green/blue space management. Transforming our approach to improve people’s lives, improve health and enhance biodiversity through: • Meaningful community engagement in Dunfermline, Rosyth, Kirkcaldy, and Glenrothes. Developing projects to improve the use of public greenspace on Fife Council and NHS land. • Establishing sustainable financing mechanisms, through our Nature Finance Fife investment scheme. • Creating a Green Transformation Plan, linked to Fife Council and NHS Fife Corporate Strategy. Embedding it within a new revised Fife Council Greenspace service, enabling a pro-active approach to greenspace transformation.
