The Colin Glen Trust is a registered charity formed in 1989 to take responsibility for the management and development of the glen. The trust promotes conservation of the natural environment, provides training and environmental education, and encourages community participation. Since its inception, the trust has restocked the River Colin with salmon, improved native habitats in the glen, built a network of forest paths, and increased native tree cover by planting 400,000 trees and shrubs, all aided by volunteers. Volunteers have also created wildlife mosaics, carried out biological surveys, and photographed the landscape.
The Colin Glen Education Team offers a wide range of activities for over 7000 children each year. The most popular activities for primary education groups are pond dipping and mini-beast hunts, while river and soil studies are preferred by secondary and tertiary education classes.
Colin Glen Trust hosts an extensive series of events in the grounds of the forest park. These include historic walks, seasonal nature walks, fossil hunts, tree planting, woodcraft days, habitat creation days, and bat spotting nights.
