Comprehensive redevelopment in Glasgow's Gorbals district in the 1960s and1970s, showing slum clearance and the new high rise flats which replaced many of the tenements. At the back of the tenements you can see the additional brick-built toilet block which gave one communal toilet per landing. Previously, the tenements had no inside toilets and residnets had to go to a hut in the back court. Scanned from a transparency taken by David Palmar.

Conservation in action - a plastic dam to help to preserve or raise the level of the water table. A raised water table promotes growth of sphagnum moss and helps to reverse the previous efforts at drainage at Commonhead Moss, a Glasgow local nature reserve. In this ditch, brushwood from scrub clearance has been dumped, to help to stem the flow of water and restore the bog.

Conservation in action - this area of Commonhead Moss, a Glasgow local nature reserve, had a covering of birch scrub, which invades the bog and by taking up water, helps to drain it. The scrub has been cut down, allowing the bog to regenerate. The group of visitors is from the Friends of Glasgow's Local Nature Reserves.
