Forth Rivers Trust
The Forth Rivers Trust aims to engage people with rivers and wildlife that live within the Forth catchment whilst conserving rivers and their important species for future generations. The Trust is involved with many projects ranging from full scale restoration of rivers to engaging communities through organised events.
The Allan Water project aims to restore and enhance the Allan Water, focusing on building positive long-term landowner engagement to deliver habitat improvements. The project engages communities, landowners, and stakeholders to implement nature-based solutions. By working with land managers to deliver natural flood management benefits, the project creates a healthier river ecosystem for wildlife and people. Through MERLIN, multiple ecosystem benefits will be identified and works on the Allan Water expanded and upscaled through in-river restoration, increased riparian planting, floodplain reconnection and peatland restoration, among many other techniques.
The People's Choice Award 2024 is sponsored by HSF Health Plan
