Events
Even small climate actions can make a big impact, whether it’s a local plant swap, visiting a permaculture learning space, going on a guided walk in a wood or meeting up to discuss zero waste options in your area.
Please scroll down to see a fuller collection of events in our local DG8 area or those we think you may find interesting to attend elsewhere or online.

Climate week | Net Zero Nation
Every year since 2016, communities and organisations from all across Scotland have come together for Scotland’s Climate Week. This year, it’s a chance to celebrate and encourage climate action, and to learn more about tackling climate change by sharing ‘Stories for Change’. Share your story using #ScotClimateWeek to help spark new ideas and inspire others to act.
MAC-CAN’s Beach Art – 29th September
We are delving into the wonderful world of community art again, with this event being the first of two.
We intend this event to be a creative and flexible time for people to come together, as individuals, families or groups to create something on the beach, using whatever is there, responsibly.
All creations during this time will be judged on the day by two local people passionate about the seashore and marine life, with the overall winner receiving a prize and a memento certificate…and all those taking part a certificate for their creativity!
As these creations will be temporary and at some point will be taken away by the tide (although if yours is made from litter from the beach, you will need to collect and dispose of this responsibly before then!). We will record each piece with a photo and these will be on display at the Art Exhibition coming in the new year.
