Get involved and help environment
Groups working across Perth and Kinross to improve their local communities through climate and nature friendly activities are being encouraged to join a network of like-minded people.
Environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful is calling for more groups to join the 250+ which are already part of our Climate and Nature Friendly Communities Network, working to make their local area a better place across the country.
Registration closes on April 30, and any group interested in joining, either as a Beautiful Scotland entrant or an It’s Your Neighbourhood group, is invited to attend an online open event on Thursday, March 14 to find out about the benefits, hear from other groups and ask questions.
Both free to take part in, the two initiatives feed into the Royal Horticultural
Society’s (RHS) Uk-wide Britain in Bloom campaign, and groups will benefit from access to free support and resources, as well as connecting with similar groups across the country.
Groups who register for It’s Your Neighbourhood receive support, mentoring and recognition for their ongoing greening and growing efforts throughout the year, whilst Beautiful Scotland has an additional competitive layer, with an annual awards ceremony and the opportunity for the top groups to go forward to the national RHS Britain in Bloom UK Finals.
Registration for Beautiful Scotland and It’s Your Neighbourhood is now open. Keep Scotland Beautiful is also looking for new It’s Your Neighbourhood assessors and mentors to join the volunteer family. Visit the Keep Scotland Beautiful website for more information.
