Phase 1 of the Back Burn river restoration project was completed last year at Coul Den, Glenrothes. Spring has brought new growth and we are starting to see the area settle in and green up. We’d like to get your views on how the area has changed – has your access to the site improved, are you noticing any new wildlife, do you have any suggestions for ongoing site improvements?
Please complete our 5-question survey here, open until Tues 26th May. Thank you.

We’ve loved celebrating #NationalHedgerowWeek. Planting a hedgerow might seem like a small step – but these small steps add up to make a big impact as we tackle the climate emergency. Hedgerows help lock up carbon, reduce soil erosion, and protect our farmland and communities from extreme weather events like flooding.
Do you have a favourite hedgerow? Share your pictures and let`s celebrate these unsung heroes together.
Good for farming. Good for wildlife. Good for Fife. 🚜🌿💚

It`s #NationalHedgerowWeek and we`re celebrating some brilliant news from right here in our communities!
Did you know hedgerows aren`t just for the countryside? Hedgerows aren`t just boundaries — they`re lifelines. And they belong in our parks and greenspaces just as much as our fields. This season, we worked alongside Fife Tree Wardens and pupils from Cardenden Primary School at Balgreggie Park, Cardenden to plant a brand-new hedgerow in the heart of their community.
Together, we`re bringing nature back where people live, play and grow. Thanks to Fife Council and the local community council for support with this planting.
