Braidburn Park is such a jewel. I'd loved to have been there to participate, but will be there July/August, at which time my daughter and I 'do our clean-up bit' every time we walk through. We look forward to a 'clean' and wonderful park upon our arrival. Thank you for making it that way. It’s great to see this happening… Braidburn Park is such a jewel.

The Friends had been given a grant from the Edinburgh Council Waste Action grant scheme to buy our own litter pickers, handihoops, spikes, gloves and hi-vis vests. They were immediately put to good use as the volunteers collected 131kg of mixed waste, not counting several items that were too large to weigh from the burn at the Oxgangs end of the park. We also collected 9kg of cans, glass and plastic bottles which were separated with the help of Anita Duffy and Justine Stansfield - Recycling Officers from Edinburgh Council. This recyclable material was taken by the Friends of Braidburn Valley Park to Council recycling points. Thanks to all the volunteers who made such a difference, Edinburgh Council Waste Action Grant Scheme for the equipment grant and to CSV Action Earth for the grant to enable the purchase of cutting equipment which was used in the park clean up by Duke of Edinburgh service volunteers to remove the invasive Japanese Butterbur from the banks of the Braid Burn The Braidburn Valley Park Annual Spring Clean took place on Sunday 25th April. 64 people joined in – 31 children and 33 adults.
