Newsletters received

04 February 2023

The start of the month brought a clutch of interesting newsletters from kindred organisations

Highlands and Islands Climate Hub
A new project officer has been recruited but not yet identified, to the extension of the Hub's remit to Skye and Lochaber.  Events and funding.

Highland Good Food Partnership
Says goodbye to Josie, who is going to work with Alex Davies at the Black Isle Brewery market garden at Allangrange, and includes a link to a very detailed and thoughtful response submitted by HGFP to the Scottish Government's recent consultation on its proposed new Agriculture Bill.

Skye Climate Action
SCA's ambitious Healthy Homes project 'is progressing apace'.  There's lots of food discussions and warm and sheltered meeting and eating places.  An article about ILM's electrical recycling collections in Skye is of interest because of the possibility that such a facility might be added to our Repair Cafes.  Also Skye activity for the Waste Project, beach cleaning, and volunteering for habitat restoration at the Old Man of Storr.

Highland Environment Forum
The usual hugely comprehensive list of news, events and opportunities links from Caroline Vaudrey.

SCCAN
announces its Annual Gathering in Edinburgh on 22 March, and offers a huge discount for TBI members on the cost of a two-day CAT  'Zero Carbon Britain'  online course running on 14 and 15 March.
