Nature crafts on offer again thanks to ADT

by

Following last year’s successful nature craft sessions, Nature Minds is back again with a brand-new series of free workshops and nature art drop-ins, with the help of a grant from our Community Projects Fund.   On Wednesdays and Fridays from February to March, The Hive in Alyth 2025 will host hands-on sessions offering a unique opportunity to connect with nature, explore traditional craft techniques and enjoy a welcoming community atmosphere.  Participants will work with natural and foraged materials to create unique, quirky yet functional crafts, including willow bird feeders and lanterns, rope and wood slice baskets, Japanese wrapped stones, black-out poetry, and seasonal spring and Easter decorations.  The ADT funding means all sessions are free to attend, but spaces are limited, so pre-registration is required. To book your place, email dorota@natureminds.co.uk.

New picnic benches for Jubilee Park

new picnic benches in Jubilee Park, Alyth

Three new wheelchair-friendly picnic benches have now been installed along the new path in Jubilee Park. The benches, equipped with bbq hotplates, are the latest improvements to the Park organised by the Jubilee Park Working Group, using grants they secured last year from SSEN Transmission’s Drumderg Windfarm, Perth & Kinross Council’s Community Investment Fund, and Alyth Development Trust. The funding had already enabled to Group to install seating on the path and a brand-new hammock swing in the children’s play area (https://lovealyth.org.uk/news/early-christmas-present-for-alyth-with-new-jubilee-park-funding/).
