Douglasdale REAL Group is a registered charity, founded in 2012 as a focal point for discussion of aims, ideas and opportunities to enable the progression of recreation, environmental, access and leisure facilities in the Douglas Valley.

Our aim is for this website to not only be a summary of the group and it's work, but also a definitive guide to Douglas Lanarkshire and it's history. We encourage you to get in touch with any stories or pictures you would like to share.

The group will be hosting its next AGM on 6th of April 2023, 7pm, at St Brides Community Centre. This will be followed by a general meeting.

Last weekend, members of the group visited the Douglas West Community Woodland to do some work. Jobs undertaken were strimming, weeding, litter picking, and the planting of some very special trees.

The trees planted were flowering cherry, their Latin name being "prunus serrulata kanzan". Kanzan is a medium sized deciduous tree, stiffly vase shaped when young, later spreading with coppery young foliage and vivid purple-pink double flowers with a 5cm width opening for crimson buds.

The trees are Japanese and should produce lovely blossoms in April/May.

The group would like to thank the kind Douglas resident for their donation of the trees, and we hope that everyone in the village will benefit from the gorgeous blooms they will bring. 

Our AGM will take place on Wednesday the 10th of March, at 7pm.

Due to the ongong COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will be hosted on Zoom.
