The Green Team is an environmental organisation based in the Lothians. We work with young people to restore and conserve wild places as an important part of learning about the natural heritage of Scotland. We carry out projects centred around a conservation task, and time is also spent exploring the countryside and taking part in environmental activities such as art, games and crafts. Since 1995 over 1700 young people have worked with the Green Team improving their local area, learning about the countryside and achieving a range of awards. Green Angels is a new programme for girls aged between 12 and 18. We offer opportunities to discover and explore some of the most stunning countryside in the Lothians whilst making substantial practical improvements. This programme is about having new experiences, making new friends and learning about the natural environment in a fun and exciting way. We offer a range of practical tasks including path building, woodland management, pond clearance, removal of invasive species and habitat creation at a variety of locations throughout the Lothians. Plus lots of fun activities and games to learn about and experience the natural world. Participants can also take part in the John Muir Award and the Duke of Edinburgh Award while doing activities with the Green Team. We run projects every last Saturday of the month, from February to November. On this particular project, we will help improve coastal paths and repair some wooden steps. We will also collect shells from the beach to make jewellery.
