NESCAN Seed Fund grant to support pond project at Gamrie Gardens

We’re really pleased to have received Seed Fund support from NESCAN Hub to help us develop our pond project at Gamrie Gardens.

This funding will support work to improve the pond using gleying - a traditional method of helping seal a pond naturally - and we’ll be doing this with the help of borrowed pigs, Annie and Hallie.

What makes this especially exciting is that the project will also be followed as a case study, helping explore how this method could work for other community climate action and biodiversity projects too.

We’re hoping to begin this work in mid April, and there will be opportunities for people to come and see Annie and Hallie in action.

We’re very grateful to NESCAN Hub and their Seed Fund, which supports small community-led climate action and biodiversity projects across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. For a small project like ours, this kind of support makes a real difference and helps us keep building practical, creative solutions for the land.
