The Scottish Borders Greens are the regional branch of the Scottish Green Party, covering the vast rural area that is the Scottish Borders, from the Tweed Valley and the Lammermuirs to the Berwickshire coast and the Cheviots.
Our motto is Think global, act local. The climate and nature emergencies are global, but the action that makes a difference happens in our towns, villages and council chambers: better buses, warmer homes, thriving nature, and a council that listens.
We are run entirely by local volunteers. To find out more, join the party or come along to one of our meetings. Non-members are very welcome.
