Waving a flag for nature! It was great to craft with kids and consult with local residents in Duloch Park, Dunfermline, about tree planting that is going on in the park over the next few weeks. We were really pleased to see how excited everyone was about the planting plans, and local children were invited to write letters to these future trees.
Planting will commence on the 20 November with groups from local schools.
There will also be an open public planting event on the 23 November. Everyone welcome. Refreshments provided. Booking is essential.
For event booking and information, please visit www.fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/events

Last Friday marked the start of an exciting new project from the education team at Fife Coast and Countryside Trust. Education Officer, Rich met with the participants at the Larick Centre before walking the short distance to Tayport Community Garden. The "Winter Wellness" programme is intended to try and improve people`s mental health, boost their self-esteem and provide a platform of engaging outdoor activities during the traditionally more difficult months of the year. During the first session, the group were tasked with using cameras to explore their natural surroundings and enjoy a hot cup of tea around the Kelly Kettle.
In the build up to Christmas, the group will learn how to tie a number of knots, get to grips with the campfire and Kelly Kettle, as well as cooking pizza in the outdoor pizza oven.
If you are struggling with your mental wellbeing and want to come along to meet new people and enjoy spending some time outside, please get in touch with Rich Webster - richard.webster@fifecountryside.co.uk"

An acorn of an idea from Fife Tree Warden, Colin Andrews, means great oaks will grow across the Kingdom. For 10 years, Colin has been growing and nurturing 200 oak trees from acorns gathered in Fife. He`s grown the oaks in his own garden and is working with community groups to plant them across Fife as part of a wider art project to create a future forest. Big thanks to Colin for a donation of oak trees ahead of our team`s community tree planting season.
The `future forest` project is called akin. Read more and see some fantastic photography here: https://www.colinandrews.art/project/akin/
