Activity Highlights
We believe community herbal gardens benefit both people and the climate, and are an important part of community resilience. They also help reconnect people with the land, while offering calm, restorative spaces that support mental wellbeing.
We can advise on herbs for a herbal first aid garden and run workshops on making remedies. These services are paid, but joining the network is free
SustainAble for All’s Accessible Eco-Trail Map, created in partnership with Forth Valley Sensory Centre and FEL Scotland, showcases climate projects, stories, and places from across our region. These locations are connected to people who have taken part in our discussions and training around sight and hearing loss. The map brings together climate action and accessibility, helping to raise awareness of both. Explore your local area to discover inspiring climate initiatives and learn about work being done to improve accessibility for people with sight and hearing loss.
