It was a lovely tree planting session yesterday in John Dixon Park 🌲

We had new tree planters join us, Murray, Campbell and Caihla (apologise if I spelt your name wrong) 😊

It was lovely to meet you! 👋

Thank you to everyone for coming along and planting some tree. These trees are already attracting loads of biodiversity and as they grow will create a natural hedgerow along the edge of the park! 💚

🌿💚 VERY GOOD NEWS FOR BALBIRNIE, MARKINCH, GLENROTHES, FIFE! 💚🌿

We’re delighted to share that Balbirnie’s Future Foundation/ BFF Nature Pioneers has secured funding from the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund for Balbirnie Park — a second year! 🙏🌱

This will support our Balbirnie Community Stewardship & Ecosystem Restoration Project, helping us work alongside young people, you — our local community and Fife Council and other local partners to better understand, protect and restore Balbirnie’s habitats and biodiversity. 🌳🦋💧

It’s an exciting next step in the work BFF have already been doing in Balbirnie — and in developing a longer-term, community-led approach to caring for this very special greenspace. 💚

A huge thank you to Inspiring Scotland and the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund for supporting our work! 🙏🌱
