About this Event
March Session #1
In this session we will walk down a section of The Water of Leith through Colinton Dell woodland. We will hopefully be lucky enough to see Kingfisher and Dippers as well as the usual huge array of woodland species. To complete the loop back to the visitor centre we will also get a chance to walk down part of the Union Canal.
The group is non-hierarchical so, whilst I will loosely organise and time keep, the session structure and flow will be shaped by everyone to facillitate knowledge sharing and community. This group is for people aged 18-35 only.
We will meet at The Water of Leith Visitor Centre at 1pm (NOTE the time change).

Pricing
I am just one person running and organising this group so, in order for this to be sustainable long term for me, I charge a small fee per session. This covers my time at the Living Wage rate with any excess income reinvested in the group. Pricing is as follows:
- Supporter Rate: £8. For those who have more than enough to comfortably meet their needs and non-essentials. This will help make the sessions accessible to others and supports my work.
- Standard Rate: £5. For those who can cover their needs with some extra for non-essentials.
- Accessible Rate: £3. For those who struggle to afford anything beyond basic necessities(e.g. on benefits or unemployed).
No questions asked, choose what works for you. Your presence matters most!
Want to pay in Cash?
Eventbrite adds a service fee to all tickets. To avoid this extra cost I am happy to take cash in person at the beginning of the session. Please email [email protected] to register for a space in advance.
**If you are emailing to book, your initial email must contain your first and last name and the rate you want to pay to ensure your place.**
Refund Policy
Eventbrite: If you pay via Eventbrite and cancel before the refund period of 2 days (48 hours) you will receive an automatic refund. If you cancel after the refund period you will only receive a refund if I am able to resell the ticket to someone else. No refund includes fees paid to Eventbrite.
Cash: If you agree to pay via cash and cancel before the refund period of 2 days (48 hours) you will not be required to pay. If you cancel after the refund period and I am able to resell your ticket to someone else, you will not be required to pay. If I am not able to resell your ticket then I will email you an invoice to pay which may require you to pay fees. An invoice is a legally binding document.
Accessibility
The majority of the walk will take place on uneven dirt paths, pavements and grass. It should be mostly flat with some small hills in places. I will endeavour to make our route, pace and distance accessible to all attendees where possible.
Buses 20, 34, 36, 44 all stop right outside the visitor centre. Bus stops for the 4 and 35 as well as the Slateford railway station are under 10 minutes walk away. There are bicycle racks at the visitor centre.
If you have any queries about accessibility or want to inform me of anything in advance do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @the_treecreepers.
