A great time with staff from LGT wealth management at the Bells section.

They raked up the 1st leaf fall, removed damaged wire fencing ar the meadow and blocked off dog runs on the river bank to slow down erosion.

Thanks for the help team 👍

A beautiful autumnal day in Juniper Green with a great bunch of volunteers, sweeping off the walkway, cutting back, redefining the stairs down from Lanark Road, removing graffiti, clearing out drainage channels, litter picking, drinking tea and eating biscuits. Living the dream!

A good start to Monday with some more scything of the Saughton park meadow, before heading onto the walkway to help widen the path at Fords Rd.

Plenty of rubbish hiding in the undergrowth

Had a lovely walk along part of the Water of Leith path yesterday morning. For #sharemondays2025 here's a photo of the reflection at the top of one of the weirs.

Colour photograph of golden autumn foliage reflected in the still water above a weir, and the weir itself.

Autumnal ovals beside the Water of Leith.

A series of concentric ovals in the ground made of grey setts. Autumn leaves are helping to define the oval shapes.

A sunny morning down on the Rocheid path for staff from the local office of Blackrock

On the menu today was helping to keep the paths leaf free and cutting back non native laurel from the banks.

A great way to finish off the week.

We hosted Edinburgh's very first Tourism Industry Group Volunteering event today at Coalie Park - organised by ETAG Edinburgh Tourism Action Group. 38 willing helpers from across the city and sector helped clean-up, sweep-up, tidy-up and weed off! Great work team

Our Monday walk this week was along the Water of Leith to Saughton Park. Along the walk we spotted herons fishing on the water, unperturbed by 10 people watching it. The sun came out at the gardens, and we enjoyed the fragrances of herbs and the last of the summer bloomers.

A busy morning at Dean Village as we helped Morton Fraser MacRoberts host 42 law colleagues, as part of the Interlaw AGM based on the theme of Optimism and Opportunity

What better way to start than to show off the river that's been transformed by volunteers hard work

Our wonderful volunteers were fully in the swing of autumn leaf raking on the walkway at Baberton Loan this morning. We also did some fence repairs and a productive litter pick in the area, to keep it looking beautiful! @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Another Monday morning spent with @wolct.bsky.social wading in the Water of Leith upstream of Currie Kirk seeking out Japanese Knotweed. One plant spotted, some Balsam removed as well as 2 bags of litter.

A very productive session in Currie today, we had an extremely efficient team cutting back vegetation and raking, sweeping and clearing drains. We also had a small team wading to map Japanese Knotweed, and of course there were several dedicated litter pickers scouting around💪🤘

A nice session completed on friday before the rain started by a team from the canonmills office of BlackRock

As locals they'll enjoy the benefits of a looked after walkway first hand the next time they leave the office

Thanks for the help.
