The Scottish Ecological Design Association

The Scottish Ecological Design Association Scottish Ecological Design Association SEDA was formed in 1991. The primary aim is to share knowledge, skills and experience of ecological design.

SEDA is a network and links those seeking information and services with those providing them. SEDA members (predominantly in Scotland) include academics, architects, artists, builders, planners, students, ecologists, landscape designers, materials suppliers, woodworkers, and many more whose work or interest is concerned with design for a sustainable future.

SEDA is a charity and is run by a board of directors who are elected at annual general meetings. The board is advised by a voluntary steering group which meets eight times a year for discussion and for planning the activities of the Association. All members are welcome to take part in these meetings. SEDA registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee in February 2011. SEDA has a part-time membership secretary / marketing officer funded from its own resources.

SEDA Land are hosting two more Championing the Local events on the next two Mondays.
The next one will be from 4pm on 14 September, and will be themed on "Councils Need to Buy Better".
It will highlight the critical role that local authorities play in enhancing local economies. In April 2023 the Scottish Government published the first Public Procurement Strategy for Scotland. Local authority procurement – on the long-term contractual basis – can give communities the much needed confidence to invest and kickstart new enterprises.

Forest schools and outdoor nurseries are becoming more prevalent in Scotland and their benefits are well-known, so why are they not being systematically rolled out or integrated into the Scottish education system?

Join us for a conversation covering the benefits of outdoor learning, both at primary and secondary level, and how local authorities and the Scottish government can be persuaded to recognise the part it could play in a more enlightened curriculum.

Outdoor learning is not limited to rural schools. We will explain how, with a little imagination, it can be done in a tarmacked playground.

This will be an informal discussion with leading UK educationalists and practitioners – including nursery school managers and rangers.
