Earth Hour Scotland
This Earth Hour, take a break and connect with nature! Join the moment on Saturday 22 March 2025, 8:30 - 9:30pm.
Nature's Big moment
Every year in March, millions of people across the globe unite to show that they care about the future of our planet, by switching off for one hour.
But it’s about more than just switching off - it’s a moment to connect with nature and each other. Nature gives us so much; from the food we eat to the air we breathe; it keeps us healthy and thriving. When we restore nature, it restores us.
In Scotland, we will use this year’s big moment to switch off, take a break - and celebrate the beautiful nature that surrounds us. Will you join us?
How to take part
Scotland’s nature is always worth celebrating – and Earth Hour, as spring unfolds, is the perfect time to do that! This year, mark the moment by connecting with nature around you and others who love the planet as much as you do. Here are some ways that you can take part.
SPRING INTO NATURE
Get ready to ‘Spring into Nature’! We're excited to launch our brand-new spring pack for Earth Hour!
In this free pack, you will find lots of fun ideas to do with family and friends - activities for spending time in Scotland’s beautiful nature, and things you can do at home on a rainy day.
