The 2019 Esk Valley Trust AGM will take place on Friday 10th May 2019 at 7pm in St David's Hall Dalkeith. The 2019 Agenda and 2018 AGM Minutes can be found below.
Following a usually brief AGM Roger Crofts, a Director of the Esk Valley Trust, will talk on ...
"Esk Valley: working with nature for a better future"
This well illustrated talk begins with an overview of the Esk catchment, its special nature areas and the valley itself from sources to sea. The many challenges about managing the land and the river, including commercial forestry, water supply, flooding, and the implications of climate change and Brexit will be discussed. The final section will broaden the scope to address the range of solutions: new maps for integrated spatial planning, mechanisms for helping to achieve improvements: stewardship, education, empowerment, demonstration and science; and change in mentalities of all stakeholders to make sure things really change.
Following approval by members, at our Extraordinary General Meeting on March 8th 2019, that the Esk Valley Trust should apply to convert from a Limited Company to become a SCIO, the suggested draft Constitution for the SCIO is now available to view below. Approval of the membership for this draft Constitution will be sought at the AGM on Friday May 10 2019. For information you can also see notes on SCIO Conversion.

HEWAN WOOD SPRING TIDY - SAT 11TH MAY 10AM - come along and help tidy the woods - we'll be strimming, cutting back shrubs and picking litter up from the pathways - nothing too strenuous. A great chance to get outdoors, meet Esk Valley Trust members and guaranteed good chat along the way. Meet at the kissing gate at the entrance to Hewan Wood at 10am. Bring along secateurs and gardening gloves if you have them.
You can park at Springfield Mill in Polton Village and follow the path signed 'Roslin' up to the Hewan Wood kissing gate. Alternatively park on Manse Road in Roslin and walk along the tarmac pathway towards Loanhead, taking a right turn just before the Bilston Viaduct. If walking from Loanhead, make your way along the Loanhead/Roslin walkway taking the path to the left just after the Bilston Viaduct.
