October Climate Bites at Barnton Bunker
Edinburgh, prepare for an October gathering unlike any other!
Our next Climate Bites event is heading somewhere truly unique: the historic Barnton Bunker.
This isn't just a networking lunch; it's a fascinating journey into Edinburgh's past, seamlessly blended with a chance to connect with others passionate about our city's future.
Step into History: The Extraordinary Barnton Bunker!
We're bringing together folks eager to champion local, community-led climate initiatives. Whether you're deeply involved in environmental projects or simply curious to learn more, you'll find a warm welcome. This month, we're incredibly excited to be hosted by the Barnton Bunker. This isn't just any venue; it's a reclaimed piece of history, transporting us to the pivotal periods of WW2 and the Cold War, while firmly anchoring us in Edinburgh's present through its use as a vibrant community space.
The Barnton Bunker Preservation Society, powered by dedicated volunteers, is diligently bringing this significant historical site back to life through an extensive restoration project. But their vital work extends far beyond the bunker itself. They are deeply committed to safeguarding the wider Barnton and Corstorphine Hill area through various conservation efforts, including tree planting, gardening, and educational initiatives. By joining forces, they're striving to build a more sustainable future for both their local community and the environment.
What's on the Agenda? A Unique Blend of History and Hope
