This online workshop launches the Fife Community Tree Planting Guide, which was created by the Climate Action Fife. It gives information on how communities can go about creating new woodland on their doorstep.
Led by Stewart Christie (Rural Skills Scotland) and Alistair Macleod (Fife Communities Climate Action Network) the workshop will present a vision for local tree planting. We will also share good reasons to plant trees, explain methods to identify land, design spaces and consult your community.
After attending you will have a good understanding of how you can engage your community in finding suitable land and have ideas on how to fund, design and undertake a tree planting project under 2 hectares.
You can view the guide here: https://www.climateactionfife.org.uk/trees/

Climate Action Fife is a project bringing together individuals, communities, local government and businesses to tackle the climate emergency and make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.
Join us for a fun, free and informative workshop that will help you understand climate change.
You will work as a team to find relationships between 42 climate cards. Each card represents a cause or effect of climate change. Together you will link the cards to build a collage that explains climate change. Collective intelligence and collaboration will get you to a solution!
This step-by-step, cooperative activity will help you work through the complexity of climate change. You will also get to be creating by decorating and naming your finished collage.
Climate Fresk is perfect for those who know that climate change is important but feel that they would like to understand it more. There is no need for any previous climate knowledge; the workshop is a learning experience.
Climate Fresk is a French-based NGO with the aim to make climate science more accessible. More than 350,000 people have played worldwide.
We are looking to hear from community groups who want to get the conversation about the climate emergency going, but who need a bit of support to do so.
This online workshop is designed for community groups and community leaders who are NOT already engaging their communities on climate action, but who would like to start. We will discuss the impacts of climate change on Fifers, the action your communities could take and the benefits of doing so, and will share examples of what is already happening around Fife.
But most importantly we want to hear from you:
- What does your community care about and what are its concerns?
- What is your vision for the future for your community?
- What resources do you need to help you get there?
- What are the barriers for your communities in engaging or taking action on climate change?
- What climate action workshops, training or activities would work for you communities?
We will identify what is important to you locally, and look for ways in which taking action on climate can address issues that your community care about.
The Climate Action Fife team will use the information to create support materials and (co)design-workshops and activities to help you engage your peers.
And if you are reading this and thinking “climate change – that’s not for me”, or “that’s not something we talk about” then perhaps you are exactly the person we want to speak to! Climate change impacts us all, so why not come and find out what your community could be doing to take action.
You do not have to know anything about climate change to take part. These workshops are not about knowing the answers, but rather about getting a conversation going, discovering answers together and working together to make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.
