Seafield prom grass is looking untidy – that might actually be a good thing!

2

Those in the Seafield and Portobello area might have noticed the council giving the grass at the top of Seafield Prom a haircut these past few days. Long-term followers will know this is a bit of grass that we’ve been working on with volunteers – adding in coastal wildflowers and scrub. The Dog and Cat Home are having some new signage put on their fence so the council have strimmed a wee strip in front of the fence to make sure the signage can be seen. The rest is being left for now. We know it’s a bit untidy looking at this time of year, but please bear with us, we promise it’s for a good reason – even now it’s vital to wildlife! Our Urban Biodviersity Leonie has designed a brilliant poster to let us know the benefits:A poster showing the area of grass

Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, new, 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.
