Last week we hosted a co-analysis workshop bringing people together to make sense of communiMap data. We spotted patterns, challenged assumptions, and brought experiences into the analysis. It showed the power of looking at data together with communities at the centre. Thank you to everyone who came

Saturday at Bellahouston allotments was magic! We set up a #communiMap stall and swapped stories, compost tips, and even pink beetroot water (fermenting). The climate news is heavy (another hottest year, dry soils here too), but seeing folk build ponds, save seeds + caring for land gave me hope!

We’ve made a Teacher’s Guide for communiMap – a way for Glasgow schools to join a city‑wide community science project. communiMap is part of GALLANT, a NERC-funded programme exploring how our city can live well with climate change and nature.

📱 Want to help tackle climate change in your community? There’s an app for that. Introducing communiMap — Glasgow’s new community science app 📍 @uofglasgow.bsky.social 👇 Learn more glasgowcityofscienceandinnovation.com/new-glasgow-... #ClimateAction #CommunityScience

The team behind @uofglasgow.bsky.social 's GALLANT @communigallant.bsky.social project has launched a new community science tool. The app supports place-based, community-led observation in Glasgow across themes like composting, nature, flooding, trees, and energy. ncr.glasgow.ac.uk?p=2394

Great to see #communiApp out in the wild! Download the app and get noticing 👀 (it's addictive - I spotted a heron the other day on my walk and got very excited 🤓). Been a joy to work with the extremely talented @communigallant.bsky.social team on sharing this story.

Say hello to #communiMap - a new community science app that helps you notice, share & map what matters in your neighbourhood - trees, wildlife, flooding & more. Co-designed by UofG's @communigallant.bsky.social & local communities — it's everyday noticing turned into climate action. gla.ac/4eVwYMU

💚 Get involved! 👇

After a successful soft launch, we’re excited to share that communiMap is now live for everyone! 💚 Glaswegians (and beyond!) can start noticing, sharing & caring for the places they love! Huge thanks to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far! Download links below...

Big thank you to the amazing GALLANT team for joining our communiMap demo session! 🌿🐝 We explored campus, tracked our routes & spotted some urban biodiversity. Great feedback, big ideas & next steps discussed 💡 Full launch coming July 17th, stay tuned!

We had a brilliant time at Glasgow Science Festival 2025! It was a great opportunity to talk with visitors about our new community science app, communiMap, and have people try it out for themselves. More communiMap updates coming soon! 🌱

On June 5, our own Chris joined an invisible cities walking tour from the Pearce Institute to the Glasgow Science Centre 🌿 He shared his GALLANT journey and explored the Wee Forest 🌱 - a great example of how urban nature can boost biodiversity and community wellbeing.

We’re pleased to share that our climate communication training series with Climate Outreach, has successfully finished! Across 3 sessions, participants developed the tools to communicate about climate change in relatable ways. We can't wait to see them lead climate conversations! 🌎

Big thanks to Parents for Future Scotland for hosting the Air Pollution Event at Glasgow City Chambers! 🌍 Our GALLANT Community Collaboration team had great conversations with pupils, parents, teachers & councillors about active travel and cutting air pollution.

We had a brilliant Compost Co-Lab meetup at the Hidden Gardens last Friday 🌿 Jenny shared a peek at her compost zine, and we now have a ready-to-use compost pile for the raised beds 🙌 Next up: we'll be conducting science tests to see how it compares to shop-bought soil!

Medical student Abba spent 5 weeks with us researching the powerful impact of green spaces on our health and wellbeing. Her findings reveal what many of us intuitively feel: we NEED nature in our cities.

🎉 The results are in! CommuniMap has won our naming poll! 🗺️ After an exciting head-to-head battle, you've chosen CommuniMap as your favourite in our app naming competition! Thank you to everyone who voted and shared their thoughts throughout this process!

The Compost Co-Lab Zine Making is underway! 🎨 🗞️ 🌱 Today we teamed up with GZL to explore creative ways to document and share our compost stories. From painting with inks made from compost, to collage and photocopying, we learned, created, and had a blast doing it!

On Sunday we launched the newest site for our Compost Co-Lab in collaboration with Movement in Thyme and Glasgow Autonomous Space. We’re turning household and community meal waste into a valuable resource that nourishes herbs and plants, enhancing local biodiversity and community resilience. 🌱

🌱🛠️ Busy day building compost bays at Agnew Lane! We're setting up our newest composting site, exploring how community gardens can partner with local cafes to reuse coffee grounds. Instead of waste going to landfill, we're turning these grounds into rich, quality compost.

Join us at making Glasgow more sustainable. We're teaming up with Movement in Thyme and Glasgow Autonomous Space for Solidarity and Soil. Come learn, eat, and grow with us—March 23rd, 2pm
