C&VS and Environment

Caring for our environment


During the growing season, members of Rotary Edinburgh work alongside the E-Club of Southern Scotland to care for the planters at Edinburgh Park Station as part of Scotrail’s Adopt a Station project.


Our purple  crocus corms planted on the foreshore at Silverknowes and at North Edinburgh Arts provide a cheerful splash of colour and make the environment more attractive.  In Great Britain and Ireland, the purple crocus is a symbol of End Polio Now  - Rotary’s campaign to eradicate polio worldwide.


Together with family and friends we organise Beach Cleans to help remove plastic, metal, glass and other waste from the foreshores. 


In 2018, we planted a copse of a hundred trees – one for each of our members – at Silverknowes. This was part of a global project to Plant a Tree for every Rotarian. In early 2020, members planted more trees to replace those that had been lost.
