Activity description

Join us at Orchard Park South for a practical conservation session focused on enhancing biodiversity. We’ll plant native wildflower plugs to boost pollinator habitats, manage a pocket forest to encourage structural diversity, and scythe meadow areas to maintain species-rich grassland. These actions support Edinburgh Nature Network by creating connected, wildlife-friendly spaces across the city.
