Buy seasonal
Healthy biodiversity is vital for growing the food we eat.
Growing healthy food requires healthy soil, fresh air, clean water and insects (such as bees to fertilise crops).
We can help by doing things like buying local, seasonal food (supporting Scottish farmers, reducing the carbon footprint, better for biodiversity); growing some of our own food (allotments, vegetables in our own gardens); reducing the use of pesticides, and encouraging and supporting wildlife.

Experience nature on your doorstep
Nature can be found everywhere – even on your doorstep. So why not get outdoors more often and discover Scotland’s nature close to where you live?
Experiencing nature on your doorstep is local, can be done by bus, train, foot or cycle, has a low carbon footprint, is good for your health, and you can see some great wildlife.
There are opportunities for everyone throughout the year to enjoy the variety of nature in their local area on their own, with their family, or with organised groups.
It’s easy and fun to do, good for your health and well-being, and can fit in well with busy lives.
