The Caledonian Biodiversity Weekend

We invite you to join us as we visit many parts of Scotland from the Borders to the Highlands on our weekend residential projects. Our events offer a great way to meet new people, get out and about in the beautiful Scottish countryside, get fit and to learn new environmental information and skills. If that isn’t enough, our weekends are also a real bargain at just £25 including all food, transport and accommodation.

All of our projects have been carefully chosen to ensure that they meet certain criteria. All work is carried out at sites that can be freely accessed by the public. The emphasis is on improving environmental assets that can be enjoyed by all. In addition, all projects enhance levels of native biodiversity, while in many cases also offsetting carbon through planting activities.
