Today was our last day down the Calder doing our @JohnMuirTrust award before Christmas 🎅. Loads of activity today, with some of the exercises captured in this wee video. Very proud of the p6&p7 kids 👏 They are really taking care of our Calder! @highblantyreps1 @CalderFriends

It's amazing that over 50 of our p6 & p7 children are taking part in the @JohnMuirTrust award. Exploring, conserving and enjoying our wonderful Calder! Week one ✅ @CalderFriends @BonnieBlantyre @highblantyreps1

Kids got a taste for Scotland’s #DepositReturnScheme by trying out a reverse vending machine at a Blantyre shop - and BBC Radio 4 was there too. Read more: ow.ly/gETC50NXCkq

I have so much respect for all the volunteers who give up their time to take care of their communities. I know first hand how hard it is! Here's a shout out to some Blantyre volunteers who were out volunteering last night - @CalderFriends 👏

I joined @CalderFriends today to get an early start on the @KSBScotland #SpringCleanScotland campaign. We found hardly any #litter - great news! We did save some plastic from getting into the river & saved some paws by removing broken glass. Job done 💪 #Blantyre #UpstreamBattle

What have our @highblantyreps1 boys and girls been up to this weekend? Let us know! These two were at a @CalderFriends event. They were supposed to be cutting bushes, but instead preferred karate chopping the branches 😂

It was lovely to have John Maclennan in Blantyre today, judging @CalderFriends, the new Blantyre Miners Community Garden and TACT Healthy Park for the #ItsYourNeighbourhood competition. Such a lovely, knowledgeable man. Good luck to all our groups! @KSBScotland #bloomhour

Tried to catch a video of the sun reflecting on the river (the rotten Calder). Accidentally captured the kids in the background having fun, tossing stones in the river! #bloomhour

1/2 big well done to these @highblantyreps1 boys for getting stuck in at a recent @CalderFriends work night in the community Orchard. They scattered wildflower seeds, planted veg seeds and shoveled soil... See next tweet for more! @KSBScotland
