We are a Scottish environmental charity with a big ambition.

Vision

We work in partnership with nature to challenge the biodiversity crisis. We advocate environmental restoration, education, and community engagement.

Impact

We are a Scottish environmental charity with big ambitions. Our focus is on delivering three key projects across sea, coast and land.

Scottish Coastal Clean Up

Our flagship project the Scottish Coastal Clean Up continues to gain momentum and is having a significant positive environmental impact on removing plastics pollution and marine litter from our beautiful coastline;

Since starting last year we have removed in excess of 55 tonnes to date. We are committed to do more with volunteers and community partners through our regular program of cleanups across Scotland.

The Forth Marine Hatchery

Based in North Berwick the Forth Marine Hatchery is our ambitious marine project focused on the critical restoration of keystone species, the native oyster and lobster, in the Firth of Forth. This project is supporting Restoration Forth and WWF-Scotland.

Muir to Forth

As John Muir was well aware, nature cannot survive in fragments. We are working with local partners and stakeholders to develop a broad network of nature corridors connecting the Lammermuir Hills to the shores of the Firth of Forth. Initially we are focusing on the area moving inland from John Muir Country Park working  in partnership with farmers and land managers.

Belief

As our historic neighbour John Muir said,

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world”.

The health of our seas, coastline, rivers, landscapes and human population are fundamentally inter-connected.

We believe in nature and biodiversity for its own sake, without any need for justification. Our focus is active participation in the challenge to restore them.

Partners and Sponsors

We are acutely aware that without the support of our partners and sponsors we would not be able to make meaningful positive environmental impact.

We are grateful to the generous support of Caledonian Horticulture, North Berwick Trust, Ocean Family Foundation, Baillie Gifford, Johnstone Smillie Charitable Trust, Balanced Impact Group, Lennox Hannay Charitable Trust, LNER (London North Easter Railway) and the many organisations and individuals making donations, volunteering and helping us in so many ways.

If you share our passion for nature and a more sustainable natural world we would love to hear from you.

If you would like to make a donation to help our environmental mission we would be incredibly grateful.
