Hazlehead "Climate Change" Park
Hazlehead Park has gained the distinction of being recognised as Scotland’s first “Climate Change Park.” The award has been made by Greenspace Scotland, a self funding body with aims of supporting the development and sustainable management of greenspaces for the benefit of people in urban Scotland. Hazlehead was recognised as having the potential for projects that will develop the park along lines that are more sustainable such as: energy efficiency, waste management, and adaption for the effects of climate change. Greenspace has produced a report with input from various local bodies including the Friends of Hazlehead. This will lead to a series of short term and longer term projects for which funding will be sought from various national bodies and sponsors.

Countryside Rangers event at Hazlehead
Night-time in Hazlehead Woods!
Saturday 19th March 7pm-8:30pm
If you are brave enough, join the Countryside Rangers for a walk through Hazlehead Woods in the dark! Look out for owls, deer or even a fox. You will be amazed at what you can see and hear even after dark out in the woods. Torches will not be used during most of the walk so your eyes become accustomed to the dark.
Meet at car park near the Hazlehead Restaurant, Hazlehead Avenue. Under 16s to be accompanied by an adult.
Booking essential.
