Vogrie Country Park this Sunday – Project #4

This Sunday we will be heading to Vogrie Country Park. Here is the message from the project organizers, Cameron & Nina:

“Trees, those pesky little blighters. Always popping up where they aren’t wanted, and not having the common decency to up root and fly away. This however creates a unique opportunity for us to spend a wonderful Sunday at Vogrie Country Park chopping them down! So as always bring along your sturdy footwear and waterproofs (we’ll bring the rest) to the pleasance tool cupboard at 10am this Sunday and join us in tree felling, with maybe a bit of burning and making habitat piles to boot!”

Usual meeting time at 10am at the Tool cupboard outside the CSE gym. Gethering at the pub afterwards from around 5.

Digging, Bikes and Dogs – Project #3 Craiglockhart

On Sunday we went to Craiglockhart Forest, just south of Morningside. We worked with a member of the cyclist campaign group ‘Spokes‘ to help maintain the foot and cycle paths. Members of the ‘Friends of Craiglockhart Wood and Nature Trail‘, local dog walkers (and their dogs!) greeted us there with enthusiasm. Hopefully the paths are now in noticeably better condition than when we started!

Here are some photos from the days work, but Click here for the full gallery!

Our January Ceilidh

We had a great turnout for our ceilidh on the 28th January. We were joined by some of the Edinburgh University Folk Society (FolkSoc) ceilidh band, who helped us to have a great night.

Here are some photos from the night (courtesy of John Godlee):
