The Enlightenment, which gave Edinburgh some of its greatest thinkers, established an attitude to the natural world as property that could be exploited for human gain. The subsequent industrial revolution set humans on a path of unsustainable consumption.

The Water of Leith has supported life through Edinburgh for centuries, but we have neglected it, taken it for granted. This event is a guided cleanup of a short section of the Water of Leith. In getting hands on with the off-casts of human activity we can better appreciate the need for change. With input from an ecologist we can gain understanding of the health of the river and how adjustments to our behaviour could enhance outcomes for the river, and the flora and fauna that inhabit it.

The event will conclude with refreshments and reflections on the cleanup.

Can we be truly Enlightened and find Reciprocal ways of working with the natural world?
