A great launch event

IMG_20180803_162650

Many thanks to all who joined us on Friday 27th July to celebrate the official launch of community input to the Edinburgh Shoreline exhibition at the John Hope Gateway, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Whether we have been highlighting the problem of plastic pollution, revisiting old traditions, discovering species on derelict land, celebrating the coast as a place of recreation or knitting the forth rail bridge (!) it has been a pleasure to work alongside local community groups to make our exhibition a reality and it was great to see their finished displays in the gallery space. They all look great!

You can see the exhibition in the John Hope Gateway, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh until 23 September. The exhibition is open daily and free to enter.

Many thanks to the lovely Julie and Alanna of the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home for their picture.

Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, community centred initiative celebrating the city’s 27km coastline.

We are rediscovering its fascinating and often unknown history and the rich plant and animal life that survives against the odds in unexpected places, and inspiring people to explore their coast and take responsibility for its future health.

We are very grateful to have been supported and funded so well in the past.

As we enter 2021, we are now planning and fund raising for our next exciting projects.
