ECCAN Spring Assembly

ECCAN Spring Assembly bringing members across Edinburgh together to connect, share ideas and explore themes of green space and biodiversity.

Join us for the ECCAN Spring Assembly on 22nd April at North Edinburgh Arts, bringing the network together to connect, share ideas and explore how we can support green space and biodiversity across Edinburgh.

As the city moves into spring and green spaces begin to come alive again, this gathering will focus on the role urban nature plays in supporting biodiversity and strengthening our communities.

The Assembly is a chance for ECCAN members to come together - celebrating the projects happening across the city, building relationships and creating space for new connections and collaborations.

You’ll hear from speakers, take part in interactive workshops and have time to connect with others across the network.

Please note, this event is for ECCAN Members. If you’re not yet a member you can join here. It’s free and only takes a minute to join the network.
