New Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway — The CatStrand Arts Centre, a hub for creativity and community in New Galloway, has reached a major sustainability milestone, transitioning its heating system entirely to renewable energy sources.

Community buildings across the Glenkens have made significant strides in improving energy efficiency and reducing their carbon footprint over the last few years.

A group of S6 pupils from across Dumfries and Galloway were at Vattenfall’s new South Kyle Wind Farm last month to learn more about wind turbine design and opportunities in the green economy.
