This eco-event is now in its 4th year and will again showcase ways of achieving a sustainable environment with the green credentials of local businesses on display.

We are expecting return visits by most of last year’s stallholders including representatives from the building industry, the Cairngorms National Park Authority, Home Energy Scotland, Grantown Society, wind farm developers, wildlife champions, and experts in waste management, the circular economy and creative child’s play.

This year we are extending our invitation to all with an interest in the natural world.
