Its National Hedgerow Week! 🌱💚
Did you know that we’ve lost around half of the UK’s hedgerows since World War II? That’s why we’ve been working with farmers and landowners across Fife to turn things around. Teaming up with our amazing partners from Woodland Trust Scotland and with support from the Nature Restoration Fund we’ve planted over 5.5km of hedgerow this season – and incredible things are starting to happen…
🌱Thousands of species are being supported
🐞Natural pest control is increasing in our fields
🌍Tackling local climate change impacts
Hedgerows aren’t just boundaries – they’re lifelines for our Fife countryside. Together, we’re helping bring hedgerows back where they belong. 💚

Our Access and Recreation Officer, Mike, has just sent in these fantastic blue sky pics from the limekilns in the Lomond Hills Regional Park. He`s on patrol there, checking the paths are safe and accessible, lifting litter and chatting to walkers. Our team are always happy to chat to you about responsible access in the countryside, so if you meet them please ask any questions you may have.
Or you might find the answers to your queries on our Outdoor Access page: https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/engage/outdoor-access/
Our leaflet shows all the trails in the Lomonds, including the limekilns trail. Download it here: https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/plan-your-trip/resources-leaflets/inland-leaflets/

Visit Scotland are an amazing organisation and they took time out of their busy lives and volunteered to clean up Burntisland Beach. It was a cold day and that didn`t put anyone off. They collected lots of litter including old pieces of rubber and plastic, and an old tyre.
Well done to everyone who took the time to help keep our beaches and Fife a great place to visit, work and play.

🌞 SP Energy Networks staff came out on a sunny morning to help clean up Seafield Beach, Kirkcaldy. They were amazing, collecting 16 bags of litter and many large pieces too. This group came from many different geographical areas and for some it was their first time at this beach. The weather held out and it felt like spring was in the air. Thanks to a great bunch of volunteers for helping keep our beaches beautiful.
