Another snapshot from yesterday's walk by the water of Leith, Edinburgh...
A very productive session around Waulkmill Loan today trimming back vegetation to widen the path, litter picking, refreshing drainage ditches, and wading the river to treat invasives and pull out rubbish. Great effort by everyone involved, thanks folks! 😎
Amazing job by the latest group from Balerno HS, this time S2&3, who braved the rain today to help remove litter from around the school and surrounding streets, from Malleny Park car park, and from the WoL walkway, preventing 7 bags of rubbish from entering the river. Legends🙌💪
Just over two more weeks of schools outdoor learning before the holidays. The classroom will have seen almost 40 classes pass through as they connect to their local river and woodlands.
Light at the end of the tunnel for the woods next to the Union canal at Calder Road.
For the 2nd year in a row our volunteers removed another huge piles of rubbish that have built up inc a McCoys crisp packet from 2008.
Small steps to a healthier wood.
