Two events are coming up in September 2025 aimed at young people who want to know more about green careers, make contacts in land and food and learn new skills.
Mabon @ Bamff | 20-21 September | PerthSHire
Mabon is the follow on event to the highly successful Beltane held in 2023.
When: 21 and 21 September 2025 (Sat/Sun). Where: Bamff Estate, Perthshire, a few km NW of Alyth, Strathmore. Who: event run by Rosanna Harvey-Crawford (SEDA Land) aimed at young people (18-40)
“Do you work in sustainability, conservation, or food systems? Are you interested in learning new skills and connecting with like-minded folks? Join SEDA Land on 20-21 September for an event focused on biodiversity, storytelling and the future of food, held at the beautiful Bamff estate in Perthshire – the site of an ongoing rewilding project.
Mabon @ Bamff includes workshops on tree seed saving, dry stone walling, storytelling, and ecological surveying. You can go on a guided walk of the estate and (hopefully!) see beavers. On Sunday, there will be a panel discussion on the future of food, featuring inspiring speakers working on different aspects of food system transformation. This is a chance to learn, be creative, enjoy being out in nature and feel inspired.“

Green Careers Fair | 24 September 2025 | Glasgow
A careers fair will be run by the Scottish Ecological Design Association (SEDA) at Glasgow University Union on 24 September 2025. Gail Halvorsen from SEDA writes:
“This is shaping up to be a very different careers fair from usual, showcasing both innovative and traditional opportunities in areas including renewable energy, regenerative farming, bioproducts manufacturing, green health and environmental law. It will showcase small and medium-sized enterprises to highlight the full range of green jobs available to graduates. Only people or firms run along ecological lines will be invited.”
SEDA is looking to hear from people who would like to contribute to the fair, for example representing a green industries sector.
