About Us

Four Winds Inspiration Centre is an
Environmental Education & Craft based Charity.

Established in 1998, Four Winds is a grass roots organisation,
working for the benefit of present and future generations ~ in line with
Local Agenda 21,the Global / Local Action Plan for Sustainable Living,
arising from the Earth Summit [Rio de Janeiro 1992].

We aim to provide a platform for positive community action & interaction in relation to important social and environmental issues.

The backbone of the project is the utilisation of a percentage of the City's waste wood resource ~ arising as a result of the annual City of Edinburgh Council Dutch Elm Disease control programme and other tree management.

We produce custom designed and carved furniture, sculptures and playground items. Each piece is individually made to suit your site and budget.

We offer a wide range of one day / weekend /3 day
CRAFTS & HERBAL classes for Adults
& CRAFTS & HERBAL classes for Parent + Child working together

We also offer RENEWABLE ENERGY courses ~
DIY Solar Water Heating System

Since 2002, working with the support of our festival funding partners*, we have organised and hosted
EDINBURGH TREEFEST
A two-day community festival in Inverleith Park, 2nd weekend in June.
Please see the Edinburgh Treefest page for more details.
