Bonaly Country Park with the Green Team

Bonaly Country Park with the Green Team

Bonaly Country Park is on the edge of the Pentland Hills and was the location for a kids’ Green Explorers day run by the impressive Green Team charity. As I go round meeting people through the Edinburgh outdoors community, the name of the Green Team comes up time and again because they work with so many organisations.

The Green Team inspires kids and young people to find enjoyment and support from the outdoors. From a fun day foraging and playing games to volunteering on conservation projects, there are activities for all ages. I met some of the team including Co Chief Executive, Penny Radway, and some exuberant and joyful 8-12 year olds to find out more about the charity. Our location was here
