Nature Walk - with Friends of the River Kelvin and GALLANT
Tuesday 29th July 2025
10:30am - 1:30pm
Join us for a guided photowalk along the River Kelvin, where we’ll explore local green spaces, map trees, and record nature stories. We'll collect data on trees - including height, girth, species, and soil conditions - and invite you to share your personal experiences in nature. Tell us about your connection to these green spaces and what makes them special to you.
We will be partnering with Gallant on the their new project CommuniMap which is an innovative new community science app developed through the GALLANT project at the University of Glasgow where you'll be able to record your thoughts and feelings on nature. CommuniMap invites you to see your local area through fresh eyes – tuning in to nature, movement, and the everyday rhythms that shape where you live. Whether you’re walking, wheeling, composting at home, or simply noticing the trees on your street, your observations help shape a collective story of local life.
You can upload your spots directly to app available on the Google Play store and the App Store. You can also find the CommuniMap web version here. We also have a paper version of the app in the form of a workbook for those who would rather add spots this way.
GALLANT can provide £10 vouchers for those who can join us.
Packed lunch will be provided.
Start time at 10.30am, meeting at the cafe at the Botanics. We'll head North along the Kelvin walkway and return to the Botanics for 13.30.
To reserve a space on the walk please book through our Eventbrite page.
