Celebrating a year of Midlothian Climate Action Hub!
What a year it’s been! From growing our network to supporting incredible local projects, we’ve achieved so much together. Here’s a look back at just some of the highlights.
Reflection and Connection: Highlights from our Big Blether
Last week, we hosted our Big Blether, a chance for members from across the network to connect, reflect, and look ahead. With familiar faces and new ones in the room, the evening was a celebration of what we’ve achieved and an invitation to shape what’s next. We felt it was a fantastic evening!
Creative Writing: Will there be wagtails, by Kitty Harrison
Through her longing for the return of wagtails, Kitty Harrison’s piece explores how personal grief entangles with environmental despair, yet leaves space for hope of a better tomorrow.
Creative Writing: After the Storm, by Barbara Wood
Exploring the aftermath of a storm from Lasswade to Roslin, Barbara’s intimate piece is a reminder our fragility when facing extreme weather events.
Creative Writing: Winds of Change – looking for a silver lining in a changing environment, by Ian Edwards
From the northward migration of the Nuthatch to the wildflower meadows of Midlothian, Ian’s winning piece beautifully captures nature’s resilience and the hope it offers in difficult times.
