Another stunning autumnal morning, this time at Dean Village, as we braved the crowds to sweep matted leaves off the path and cut back encroaching vegetation to improve accessibility and safety. Thanks to everyone who attended, including groups from Scottish Water & Aegon🍂🧹🍪

Lots of hard work today by staff from the Edinburgh office of Blackrock at St Marks.

With their office a short walk from St Mark's, they'll be able to see the difference daily on their commute having removed a ton of leaves and repaired fencing along the walkway.

A stunning reflection.

A productive morning with the Old College Capital investment management team from @EdinburghUni.

They helped to get the Quilts side of the walkway in good order, raking off a mountain of leaves, trimming hedges and cutting back self seeding trees from the dock walls.

Fab day today for my lunchtime walk

A glorious day for our monthly Leith Clean-up with 40+ people out helping, including plenty of new faces! We removed loads of rubbish from the water, the shores, and the surrounding streets, and broke the record for cans collected, which now stands at 326! Thanks everyone!

A productive morning for our fungi id volunteers who identified 19 different species in Craiglockart dells.

Currently we have 109 different species recorded to help with our understanding of life next to the river.

Fabulous session in the sunshine today, collaborating with The Friends of Rocheid Path. We reinstated the derelict dead hedge, removed some invasive laurel and buddleia, planted bulbs, and of course swept leaves! Lovely meeting new friends and making a difference!😊🌞🌱🧹🍪

A glorious morning to be out with others, volunteering on the Longstone section.

Hundreds of leaves removed to keep the walkway useable during the wetter months ahead. Several bags of litter collected locally as well.

Thanks for all the effort

Plenty of leaves in need of a sweep up after the storms down at Bells.

Lots of leaning trees though reported to the council's forestry team, once they've checked them out we'll get busy with our volunteers.

If you see any feel free to email them at forestry@edinburgh.gov.uk
