All change at the Eden Estuary! We've welcomed back a good number of summer breeding..
FCCT offer a range of events, activities, conservation activities, guided walks and family friendly events to encourage the younger generation to develop a love of the environment.
This section includes an extensive range of downloadable resources, including themed walks
and information leaflets, which are sure to enhance any visit to Fife.
Have you heard of a leaky dam? It`s a flooding prevention measure that moderates the flow of water downstream. Barriers are added to a stream or river to prevent soil and silt escaping while allowing water to escape at a slower rate.
FCCT volunteers came out on a very wet day to help our conservation officer Craig build a leaky dam at Coul Den, Glenrothes. They constructed the leaky dam so it sits above the river instead of on the riverbed. This means that fish and other river dwelling creatures can move under the structures as normal. No matter what the river is doing, or how fast it’s flowing, if there is water in the river, fish can always get under the dam.
Well done to all our volunteers who got involved in this really valuable project.

Great to see everyone at Rosyth Gala on Saturday! We spoke to lots of people about our river restoration project which is now entering its design phase. We asked folk to add to our poster, visualising how they’d like the Rosyth rivers to look in the future. And we had some great additions: lovely trees, lots of frogs and fish, and even a dinosaur!
Thanks also to all who helped us with a riverfly survey, testing the freshwater invertebrate diversity in the Brankholm Burn. We mostly found freshwater shrimp which are quite resilient to low water quality, suggesting there’s lots of work to be done to restore this habitat properly.
If you’re interested in helping out with regular riverfly surveys, please get in touch with river restoration project manager Maddie – madeleine.deacon@fifecountryside.co.uk

Fife’s trees and woodlands are special places - for nature, for climate and for people. Every small action helps them to thrive. To celebrate the care people across Fife are giving to our trees and woods, we’re inviting you to take part in the Fife Climate Forest: One Small Action for Trees and Woods Challenge.
This summer, we want to hear what you’ve done to care for a Fife tree or woodland. It could be something simple or something you’re really proud of - every action matters.
