Edinburgh University Conservation Society
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!
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):
Thanks to our socials organizers (Rosie & Rachel), the Folk Soc, all those who donated items for the raffle and everyone that could make it along. Sláinte!
The Dirty Weekenders will be hosting an event for the University’s Innovative Learning week on Wednesday February 19th. This is ideal for anyone new to conservation work, who wants to have fun outdoors.
We will be travelling to local nature reserve ‘Beeslack Wood‘ to assist the Woodland Trust ranger in the upkeep of the site.
