VOLUNTEERING AFTERNOON: our next date is 19 September from 14.00. This time we will be doing some grass reseeding. We're meeting at the Portuguese Cannon on top of the hill. New members always welcome!

The Trust are calling an EROSION EMERGENCY — asking the council @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social to re-bank, re-seed and re-turf CALTON HILL between now and the end of the year. @spurtle.bsky.social @edinburghminute.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social caltonhilltrust.org/wp-content/u...

EROSION in 2025 worst for many years — with the loss of whole stretches of top soil. This is our biggest problem. We can pick up litter in a moment, we can move portaloos in a day, we _could_ close road access to motor vehicles whenever we chose — but erosion takes time & careful work to remedy. 1/
