Artecology on BBC’s Countryfile

We hope you were all watching Countryfile last night and spotted Artecology’s vertipools! Here’s a handy link if not (minute 27-34): https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bvgw3r/countryfile-isle-of-wight?fbclid=IwAR0wKaQJAzloqnxnuPD5Uda8eckE8D6Gw2leub-7GfbhajSlGamg3oqW7PY

Did you know that in the pilot stage of the Edinburgh Shoreline project we (along with Artecology, Concrete in the Classroom, Scottish Wildlife Trust, Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and local schools) installed some vertipools and biodiversity tiles on the sea defences at Cramond? We’ve also been developing some more tiles with Craigroyston High and Leith Academy in September of this year.
