Past Events

RoWAN are hosting a talk entitled “Archaeology is Rubbish” by local archaeologist Susan Kruse. Susan will be giving us food for thought with a talk entitled "Archaeology is Rubbish". She will explore the way people have treated rubbish through the ages, from the earliest Mesolithic times through to today. From this perspective she will suggest that there may be valuable lessons from the past, as well as sobering reflections on what archaeologists of the future may think about us today. Read more

Come along and ask the Master Composters anything about composting!  Or buy a great raised bed from The Greenhouse and get advice on how to make compost to fill it!  Browse the gardening books and have a look at the demonstration compost bins.

Hosted by Transition Town Black Isle, this event  promises to be explosive!  Find out what local politicians have to say about climate change and make your voice heard about how it will affect your community!  Master Composter Project Officer Katy will be available to make the case for home composting, which makes a real contribution to reducing methane production from landfill sites.

RoWAN's Green and Easy Christmas event is fast approaching. ............Time to start looking out your unwanted clothes, household items, children's books, toys etc for the Swap table! Bring along that party outfit you know you won’t wear again or those winter clothes the children have outgrown. Swapping stuff instead of throwing it out and buying more will save on carbon pollution, time and money.

Other activities at the event will include Christmas crafts for both adults and children, information on composting and waste reduction, the Ullapool High smoothie bike, Fair Trade lunches and a Christmas cookery demonstration........and come and meet Waste Wabbit and friends and help him recycle.
