Wilding screening at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre

TUESDAY 24th FEBRUARY at 6pm

We have a film for you tomorrow night at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre about rewilding. 6pm-8.45. Film starts at 6.30.

There are also two ecology and urban rewilding practitioners coming to speak to us about what we can do to restore nature in our local environments. Wouldn’t it be lovely to keep our birds singing and our local mammals living near us? The deer, badgers and foxes, whether you enjoy seeing them or not are part of our essential environment.

At the base of this food chain are the insects which the birds rely on to feed their chicks.

What can we do to preserve and even increase the natural habitats around us?

Come along and find out Tuesday night and meet some of your neighbours too!

Drop me an email on natalie@drylawnc.org.uk if you’d like to come.

Across mainland Europe, nature is making a dramatic recovery – could Scotland be next?

This FREE screening will be followed by a Q and A session led by local artist Natalie Taylor who produced SCRAN FIR BEES on Ferry Road.

On our panel will be Dr Ian Edwards, ecologist and forest specialist formerly of RBGE, and Julia Pennycuik, co-founder of Midlothian Wildflowers.

Come along for an evening of inspirational visions of what Scotland could look like if nature is encouraged to return alongside the folks who live within and beside it.

No need to book but any questions to natalie@drylawnc.org.uk.
