2023-24 was another busy year for Greener Kirkcaldy as we helped our community deal with the effects of the continued cost of living crisis.
We launched our new Strategic Plan for 2023 – 2028, A Greener and Fairer Tomorrow, Starting Today. We added led walks back into our active travel programme. The A Fruit Tree for Every Garden in Fife campaign, part of Climate Action Fife, encouraged more 450 people to plant a tree in their garden.
We also hosted one of our largest ever events, when Luna the Moongazing Moth visited Kirkcaldy Prom!
