A useful environmental education toolbox

The innovative educational collective Moving Sounds recently partnered up with Transition Scotland Support and Catalyst Campaigns to produce this lovely book full of games and activities for groups of  children and adults alike. 

Games to Save the Planet is a toolbox of arts-based environmental education activities. It's a 48 page book of the many activities and games Moving Sounds have used over the years to explore issues through the arts. It's both playful and profound; great for anyone wanting to facilitate positive change or just have creative fun in groups.

Do you dream of a hut in the woods?

Huts are the focus of the latest issue of the much-loved magazine Reforesting Scotland, designed by Catalyst Campaigns. The magazine is selling out fast, so if you are one of Scotland's many hutting enthusiasts, contact Reforesting Scotland soon to become a member and receive a copy of the magazine. It includes articles about how to build your own hut, or how to buy a good quality off-the-shelf one if you are not inclined towards woodwork yourself. It also includes articles about the potential for many more hutting opportunities in Scotland, together with the launch of Reforesting Scotland's Thousand Huts campaign.

If you'd like to keep abreast of the latest hutting news, join the Thousand Huts campaign Facebook page, which already sports over 400 members.
