Our mission – to provide everyone in Edinburgh and the Lothians with access to quality greenspaces, which can help to improve their health & wellbeing

Since 1991 we have been working to improve greenspaces for the benefit of people through practical environmental and educational projects in partnership with local communities and health-focused initiatives as a way to support more people getting outdoors. Our projects are designed to benefit people, wildlife, landscape and heritage and to help connect people with their natural environment.

We cut a third of our hedges each year to help the birds. Managed to cut some from tracks this month. Only 9 days left to do the rest of this year's third, not going to be dry enough by the look of it. It will complicate things next year. @NFFNUK
