In collaboration with Edinburgh Ukrainian Centre and Cait O’Neill, a group of families from the Ukrainian Community visited Three Hares Woodland to participate in outdoor activities, foraging and sharing food around a fire. It was a lovely day out amongst nature sharing knowledge of plants, wildlife and folklore in Scotland and Ukraine.

After conversations with members Franco and Alex about their passion for birdwatching, we decided to collaborate with RSPB, MECOPP and the Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust to create a series of birdwatching outings around East Lothian and Edinburgh. We have visited North Berwick, Seacliff Beach, Aberlady Nature Reserve, Harlaw Reservoir, Figgate Park and St. Abbs….

We spent the morning visiting Central Scotland Sawmill to source timber for a new project Alex is developing.
