About Us

We are a Scottish environmental charity with a big ambition.

Based on the rugged coastline of East Lothian we are an experienced team of environmentalists, entrepreneurs, business professionals and volunteers committed to delivering positive environmental impact across Scotland.

The health of our seas and coastline, forests, rivers, and biodiversity are fundamentally linked; they are one. We believe in nature and biodiversity for its own sake, without any need for justification.

We do not view our work in isolation.

Our historic Dunbar neighbour John Muir said,

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

Our three core projects connect sea, coast and land, focusing on nature restoration, community action and education.

We understand that meaningful environmental progress is never achieved alone. The support, collaboration and shared vision of our partners, sponsors and volunteers play a vital role in turning ideas into action and real world impact.

    Your River Tyne Needs You!

    Rivers are the blue-green arteries of our landscapes, providing water, nutrients and vital wildlife corridors through some of our most intensively managed environments.
