About this Event
Join the Scottish Wildlife Trust and friends for a friendly and informal workshop open to anyone who wants to organise action for nature where they live.
Perhaps you help run a wildlife-friendly community garden, or you have big ideas for a small piece of land in your neighbourhood. Or, you wish you could encourage more of your neighbours to create wild spaces in their gardens. Whether you are an established community leader or a passionate individual looking for a place to start, all are welcome!
We'll hear inspiring stories from around Edinburgh and work together to map our communities, share knowledge and ask questions.
Free but booking is essential. Refreshments will be provided.
