South Kintyre Development Trust : Where Action Meets Vision

Our Green Maps are not just pretty pictures and delusional ambitions – it's a living, breathing representation of our activity and potential. This unified profile map serves as a dynamic hub, bringing together diverse initiatives under one interactive canopy.

Here, you'll find a tapestry of interconnected projects:

  • Biodiversity hotspots pulsing with life
  • Sustainable businesses driving local economy
  • Community gardens nurturing both food and fellowship
  • Renewable energy sites powering our future
  • Cultural landmarks anchoring our heritage
  • Active travel routes weaving through our landscape
  • Foraging sites connecting us to nature's bounty
  • Beach clean-up zones protecting our shores
  • Rainforest conservation areas safeguarding our unique ecosystem

Each pin on this map represents a story of community action, a challenge being met, or an opportunity waiting to be seized. It's a testament to the collaborative spirit of Kintyre, where organizations like SKDT work hand-in-hand with local initiatives and individual changemakers.

But this map is more than a showcase – it's an invitation. An invitation to:

  • Discover hidden gems in your neighborhood
  • Contribute your local knowledge and skills
  • Connect with like-minded individuals and groups
  • Identify gaps where your ideas could flourish
  • Visualize the impact of collective action

By bringing these diverse elements together, we're not just mapping our present – we're charting our future. We're creating a tool that transcends traditional boundaries, enabling us to see connections we might have missed and opportunities we've yet to explore.

This unified view empowers us to tackle complex challenges holistically. It shows us how a beach clean-up connects to marine biodiversity, how a community garden links to local food security, and how active travel routes can revitalize our town centers.

Most importantly, this map is a canvas for your involvement. Whether you're a long-time resident or a newcomer, a business owner or a student, there's a place for you here. Your insights, your passion, your actions – they all have the power to shape our community's trajectory.

As you explore this map, ask yourself: Where do I fit in this picture? What can I contribute? How can I connect with others to amplify our impact?

The Kintyre Green Map is more than a project – it's a movement. A movement towards a more sustainable, connected, and vibrant Kintyre. And it starts with you.

Dive in, explore, connect, and let's turn this map into a reality we can all be proud of.
