Climate Bites: A Lunch and a Piece of History
Ready for a unique lunch experience? Our next Climate Bites gathering is taking place somewhere truly special: the historic Barnton Bunker! This isn't just a meal; it's a chance to explore a fascinating piece of Edinburgh's past while connecting with people who are passionate about our city's future.
We're bringing together folks who are keen on local, community-led climate initiatives. Whether you're a seasoned environmentalist or just curious to learn more, you'll find a warm welcome.
Our Host this month: Barnton Bunker
We're incredibly excited to hold this month's event at the Barnton Bunker. This isn't just any venue; it's a reclaimed piece of history that takes us back to the pivotal periods of WWII and the Cold War. The Barnton Bunker Preservation Society is hard at work, with the dedication of passionate volunteers, bringing this significant historical site back to life through an extensive restoration project.
Their work extends far beyond the bunker itself. They're also deeply committed to safeguarding the wider Barnton and Corstorphine Hill area through various conservation, tree planting, food growing and educational initiatives. They're striving to build a more sustainable future for both their local community and the environment.
