To celebrate World Rivers Day, various groups in East Lothian are working together to host a weekend of community events along and around the river Tyne, from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th September – open to anyone curious to connect with the Tyne.
This week we returned to the Hedderwick Plantation in John Muir Country Park for a follow-up tree care event, bringing together 12 enthusiastic volunteers to give the young woodland some much needed TLC.
Rivers are the blue-green arteries of our landscapes, providing water, nutrients and vital wildlife corridors through some of our most intensively managed environments.
Balanced Horizon is delighted to announce that we won the Environment Award at the East Lothian Community Champions Awards 2026 ceremony.
Some see our rivers and burns as merely functional water channels. In fact they perform functions far beyond mere resource distribution.
Balanced Horizon is excited to announce our Big Forth Clean-up event, a large-scale coastal action weekend taking place across the Firth of Forth from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th August 2026, proudly supported by Forth Ports.
Very exciting news at the Forth Marine Hatchery this week, as our oyster spatting ponds are officially up and running!
Leaky dams, often referred to as natural flood management barriers, are small, man-made structures built from locally sourced materials such as timber, branches, and stone. Unlike conventional dams, they are not intended to stop water entirely.
Balanced Horizon is a charity dedicated to creating meaningful environmental impact whether by bringing people together, raising awareness, or delivering hands-on restoration work.
At The Chocolate Tree, we believe that businesses should be a force for positive change.
