River Annan Restoration

During FIRNS1, we explored the potential for a catchment-scale network of river restoration works on the River Annan, and how the community could be engaged in the project. During FIRNS2, we began putting these findings into practice, taking a learning by doing approach to getting the process running piloting site development and community events. In FIRNS3, we would take what we have learned and delivered in the upper-catchment and to expand this considerably throughout the mid and lower catchments. This would achieve catchment-scale coverage, and allow us to put the process developed in FIRNS2 into action. This will increase reach of the project, and its value to a greater diversity of funders. We will also work closely with interested local contractors and businesses to build skills and expertise required to deliver restoration works are increasingly available within the local area, and that investment is shared amongst local communities and businesses.
