About Us

The Dirty Weekenders, officially known as Edinburgh University Conservation Society, is a student-run society which undertakes practical conservation work in and around Edinburgh.

We go out (almost) every Sunday during the semester, spending the day in or around Edinburgh helping park rangers and other volunteers with conservation tasks such as path clearing, tree planting, or invasive species eradication. We provide lunch and transport for each project, making getting involved ridiculously easy!
