Leadership for Sustainability Netwalking
…in and around the Central Belt of Scotland
Walks in great places with sustainability people for worthwhile conversations
Our sustainability netwalks bring together sustainability leaders and pioneers to support each other by:
- Acknowledging the (often unspoken) challenges;
- Sharing practical experience;
- Sparking new ideas.
So that we can make greater progress on sustainability in our work, confident that we’re contributing to meaningful change in the world.

For you
Enjoy being in nature and discovering new places. Have inspiring and thought-provoking conversations with other sustainability leaders. Deepen connections with your peers.
your WORK
Build cross-sectoral knowledge and understanding of what’s happening in sustainability. Grow the network of people you can call on for advice and support.
Our World
Help develop and expand the ecosystem of people in Scotland working to achieve greater progress on sustainability in their organisations and across society.
Sustainability Netwalking combines three of my favourite things – being outside in beautiful parts of Scotland, including places I’ve never been; spending time with interesting people; and working through sustainability challenges with likeminded folks.
I highly recommend joining in and connecting with great people and great places.

I really enjoyed sustainability netwalking. It’s a great way to meet new people and see old friends working in sustainability, in an easy going and beautiful outdoor environment. I highly recommend the combination of chatting, picnics and sunshine!

For most walks you don’t need to be particularly fit or have any special kit beyond an ordinary waterproof jacket and walking boots, unless heavy rain is forecast.
Some walks are in more remote and rugged areas. For these you may need to be fitter, have some experience of hill walking, and have better quality boots and waterproofs.
Check each walk for details, read “enjoy netwalking safely” below, and ask us for advice.
