Last chance to respond to Edinburgh Shoreline community survey
Edinburgh Shoreline is all about celebrating the hugely diverse cultural and natural heritage of our coast! We’d like to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and help us celebrate. Over the next 12 months we’ll have lots of opportunities for people to join us on our journey, taking part in walks, talks, wildlife surveys, workshops and seminars to name a few.
Do you have something you would like to contribute to the Shoreline project? Perhaps you’d like to lead a photography walk, create a piece of community artwork, invite people to see your community garden or create a film about your area. We can help!
We can support you to come up with ideas for events and projects, provide template marketing tools and add you to our events diary to help you publicise. We can also provide you with training on making mini-documentaries to tell the story of your project, which can also be added to our website.
We’d love to hear what you could contribute to the Edinburgh Shoreline project in helping locals and tourists alike understand that our coast has an amazing past, present and future. All ideas are welcome!
