Watch this space for upcoming events, or join our nature mailing list to be the first to know. In 2026, we'll be trialling regular Saturday sessions on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month focusing on wildlife gardening, conservation work and nature surveying around the EH5 area. Join us to get your weekend off to a positive and wholesome start! Our Wildlife Saturdays whatsapp group will have regular reminders and updates. (Whatsapp group is broadcast-only for minimum messages).

One for the early risers and the keen beans! Come and learn about the nature that lives in the intertidal zone along our shores with our local marine citizen science expert Emma Lowe. This early morning is an extra low tide so we'll be able to see and learn a lot.Â
We're hoping to convince the powers that be that this area should be a community nature reserve of some sort. Your help in spotting all the creatures and seaweed that live here will be invaluable in making our case.

Saturday 25th April, Meet at 10.30am at Granton Medway junction with West Granton Road

Join us for a morning in the secret garden between Granton Medway and Granton Crescent. Some of you may remember this garden from when it was in regular use a few years ago. We're aiming to help local residents bring it back from its current neglected state. We'll be creating a dead-hedge from cuttings - a wildlife friendly way to tidy the garden and create habitat for all sorts of creatures - and taking on some weeding, litter-picking and recovering beds for gardening in.
