🌞 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.

The Back Burn river restoration project kicks off in Balbirnie Park, Markinch, next week. From Monday, staff will be on site conducting ecological surveys and completing preparation works including tree pruning and removal where necessary. From 29 April, you may start seeing construction machinery being brought on site, but major works are not likely to kick off until a week or two later.
The works will start on the upstream end of the project area between Tofthill and the golf club, with works taking place here over May and June. Over July and August the team will move downstream and begin works between the golf club and the footbridge closest to Stob Cross Road.
Full access through the site will be maintained at all times, however there will be route diversions in place which may change as the works progress. Please abide by the on-site signage and keep an eye on our website for details. Works will be complete by the end of September, if not a little earlier.

📷 Pictures show the ford crossing now, and a visualisation of how it will look after the works.

We welcomed Kiri from the wonderful @woodswomanworkshops to run the first of two wood whittling sessions at Silverburn Park for our Branching Out participants. The group got to grips with a wide range of tools to carve a piece of silver birch into something useful - a spoon!
After getting the Kelly Kettles on to boil, Kiri gave us a safety talk and explained the techniques required to whittle our spoons. The group made great progress and the spoons are really coming together.
Thanks so much to Kiri for a great first session, we are all looking forward to welcoming everyone back again to finish them off.

Interested in birds? We`d love you to get involved in a moorland bird survey in the Lomond Hills. Small groups of volunteers will be allocated an area of the Lomond Hills Regional Park to survey and, hopefully, gather some valuable information about our amazing birdlife.
We are looking for a commitment of three dates to ensure the project works. We hope this will be an annual survey.
The training date is on Friday 1st May at our Kinghorn office and two surveys will take place in the Lomonds on Fridays 8th May and 5th June.
🦅 Read about last year`s survey, and see some epic pictures:
