Seasonally the Fundraising Events team meet to plan events that will raise money for the Trust. Individuals are also expected to help as the specific event approaches and if possible on the day itself. Past events include the Duck Race, Sponsored Walk, Themed Treasure Hunts, Family Fun Days and Plant Sales.
We also run an extensive Outdoor Learning Programme for schools and a community based programme of events for the public and youth groups. We even run special environmentally themed Birthday Parties. Occasionally volunteers support staff in the delivery of these activities.
The Water of Leith Conservation Trust works to conserve and enhance the river, its heritage and wildlife: The Trust promotes education and recreation through the Visitor Centre, and works with volunteers and community groups to deliver around 240 river clean-ups and habitat improvement tasks annually.
