Nature Restoration from Source to Sea
Using research-driven approaches led by passionate professionals, we work with stakeholders, partners and volunteers to help nature thrive in marine, coastal, freshwater and terrestrial environments.
Forth Marine Hatchery
We are committed to the restoration of keystone species in the Firth of Forth. Fished to extinction, our project focuses on restoring the native oyster alongside lobsters and seagrass.
Scottish Coastal Clean Up
We collaborate with coastal organisations and community groups to remove plastic pollution and marine litter from around Scotland’s stunning coastline.
Muir to Forth
We are developing a network of nature corridors connecting the Lammermuir Hills to the shores of the Firth of Forth in partnership with farmers, land managers and communities.
