Come and celebrate National Meadows Day with us on a walk to enjoy the beauty of summer wildflowers!

We will walk the Invertromie Trail and see lots of different flowers, from the common, such as bird’s-foot trefoil, bedstraws and stitchworts, to the uncommon, such as rockrose and petty whin. The highlight of the walk will be gorgeous Tromie orchid meadow where we will hope to see five species of orchid, including heath fragrant orchid and small white orchid.

We will meet in the RSPB Insh Marshes Car Park - what3words: ///epic.youth.venturing and grid ref: NN775998

Some areas may be rough underfoot. This 5k/3mile route is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies, and we recommend sturdy footwear.

Under 12s free.

Learn how to identify plastics and create artisan items through our tried and tested creation process with Andy - get signed off to use our workshop machinery and gain experience whilst you're at it! Everything you make helps save waste from landfill and repurposes single waste plastic into a handcrafted item that can be recycled again and again!

Held at Green Hive’s Workshop in Nairn.

We will be focusing on our local environment, with this event based on spotting and managing invasive non-native plant species on the 28th June

We will be heading out to Nairn's riverside with a team of volunteers to spend 4 hours clearing groves of Himalayan Balsam, to help promote native biodiversity through education and conservation work.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn about conservation work, whilst getting a light workout! Pulling balsam is a great activity for people of all ages and abilities and it makes a real, tangible difference to our green spaces and waterways.

What really happens to our plastic waste once we put it in the recycling bin?

In the last few years the plastic pollution crises has become an international scandal. But the plastic packaging industry has declared it knows how to solve the problem: recycling. Increasingly bottles, boxes and sachets are proudly stamped with the words ‘100% recuclable’ as brands compete to reassure consumers that their packaging purchases are guilt free. But if recycling is really the solution, why is the world pumping out more virgin plastic than ever before? Could the recycling industry be the ultimate greenwash? We follow the money into an industry that’s designed to hide the problem rather than solve it. We track the black-market brokers who hunt for countries to dump our plastic, waste moguls getting rich by burning trash, and the organised criminals for whom waste smuggling is now as lucrative as human trafficking. As we all pick up the bill for a world drowning in plastic, the film asks: who is getting rich?
