Due to a lack of continued funding, we completed our final walk with our Redhall group. We thank each and every walker for turning up in all kinds of weather, making everyone feel welcome and for their adventurous spirit.

We were absolutely delighted on Wednesday evening to have a FULL HOUSE of 21 people show up for our Ecology Talks about the Braid Burn in Inch Park. We heard from ecologist Milan about the Phase One Habitat Survey we commissioned him to carry out along the stretch of the Burn.

We discovered the true meaning of Nordic walking with a fantastic walk in the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Our poles helped provide grip in these challenging conditions and helped us to experience stunning winter views while exercising. Also spotted Greylag geese.

Redford Woods volunteers planted 600 Bluebell, Wood anemone and Daffodil bulbs generously given by the council's parks and greenspaces team. It has rained every time, but the team kept going and we couldn't be more proud of their hard work and dedication. Can't wait for spring.

A touch of frost greeted us on our latest Redhall walk, as winter arrives. But the sun shone brightly and gave us a great start to our week as we explored nature together.

Well done to these hardcore Nordic walkers who braved torrential rain for our walk. We were rewarded with a spectacular and very full Water of Leith in spate. We spotted a very soggy Heron, taking in the views above the fast flowing water. Well worth leaving the house for.

Feeling inspired by our recent Andy Goldsworthy exhibition visit, we had a fun natural art session with Stepping Stones this week, exploring the textures and patterns of leaves and flowers

A massive shout out and thanks to these hardy Redford Woods volunteers who came out for a bulb planting session, despite torrential rain. We planted around 200 bulbs, including Bluebells, Daffodils and Wood anemone. We hope these flowers will enhance the woods for all to enjoy.

What a beautiful day for a walk! Our Redhall walkers were invited to Tiphereth at Torphin to visit their pop-up cafe, woodworks and art made by people who receive support there. A wonderful experience and a great time had by all. Thanks for having us.

We had fun in the Wee Forest at West Pilton Park, carrying out some monitoring on the positive impacts of trees. We measured the trees to give us an idea of their carbon storage and took a thermal comfort survey, helping us to understand how trees can offset climate change.

Our latest Nordic walk was at Cammo Estate, where we were surrounded by fabulous autumnal colours in the trees. We enjoyed views over Edinburgh from the tower whilst catching up with each other for some exercise and good conversations
