A little extra knowledge of your environment can make an afternoon stroll so much more enjoyable and rewarding. Plants and flowers can tell us a lot about an area, from the underlying soils and geology, to the human activity and management that has taken place.
Join us on a guided walk around Seafield castle to observe the late flowering plants of the seashore, scrub and coastal grassland. Although autumn is almost upon us, there is still plenty of life about.
The proposed route is flat, though there is the option of venturing onto the edge of the beach.
From the carpark to the castle and back is approximately 2km.
All ages and abilities welcome.
Seafield Beach carpark, Seafield Road, Kirkcaldy.

We recently held a very useful meeting on our food project ideas. We would like to explain them to you.
We are looking to set up a cafe, run as a social enterprise. The cafe would use local food as much as possible, to reduce food miles. The project is at an early stage and we are looking for volunteers to join us in developing the project.
The date for this is Thursday the 6th of October, in our centre, starting at 7pm.
Please make a note in your diary.

The Visitor Information Centre at 339 High Street will be open to the public for free this Sunday, 11/9/11 from 11am to 3pm. Greener Kirkcaldy will have a stall there. Why not come and say hello?
The building will be open for visitors to have a wander around the garden and building to see the architecture, woodwork and the mural of a galleon. It’s part of Doors Open Day.
The back garden area of the building is quite large and the organisers hope to have a bird of prey display. There will be a stone mason in the garden and a Fife Coastal Path Ranger to talk about the path. The organisers hope to have a local poet there too. Their office will be open offering food samples and they’re doing a one day 10% off offer.
The Crafty Bite next door will be open offering teas and coffees.
Two photos from the event, showing us chatting with members of the public.
