Our Vision for the Dreel Burn

Our vision is of the Dreel Burn as a clean, biodiverse and vibrant river, valued by the farming, fishing, rural and urban communities of the East Neuk. 

To achieve this we will improve the burn as a source of water and precious green space for local residents and visitors, and as a natural habitat for wildlife.

The project will benefit and protect the sustainability of key industries in the wider catchment area, including agriculture, coastal fishing, shellfish breeding and tourism.

We aim to transform local attitudes towards the burn, to ensure that the project’s positive outcomes are sustainable and enduring.

What can you do?

We are looking for volunteers to help us to support and deliver this ambitious project. There are many ways you can get involved, from carrying out community science, like gathering data, to litter picking and any number of other roles. Any individual or group who would like to be involved is welcome.
