St Andrews Nature Networks: Restoring Habitats and Building Resilience
Running from October 2023 to March 2025 and funded by the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund (£231,183.30), the St Andrews Nature Networks project enhanced biodiversity and ecological resilience across 27 sites along 16 km of the Fife coastline.
Key outcomes included restoration of a saline lagoon, creation of two wetland mosaics, establishment of 4.78 ha of native woodland, 2,413 m of hedgerow, and 6,610 m² of meadow. Community involvement was central to the project, with 38 conservation events engaging over 400 participants.
