Greater Easterhouse has some of the richest natural habitats in the city of Glasgow. In recent years there has been a growing concern for nature conservation, and in response to that, Glasgow now has 5 designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest. (SSI’s) Bishop Loch in Greater Easterhouse is one of these SSI’s.

There are also many more City-wide Sites of Important for Nature Conservation, and a number of these lie within the area – Hogganfield Park, Garnkirk Moss and Lochwood Wetlands, to name but a few.
