Our Eddleston Water Project has received another important accolade – a Gold Standard Award from the River Restoration Centre!
The award was given in recognition of the project’s monitoring and evaluation work, and the influence it has achieved by sharing the benefits of natural flood management techniques. It is the first of only two UNESCO Ecohydrology Demonstration Sites in the UK and is helping shape policy discussions on flood risk management and biodiversity recovery both nationally and internationally.
The project is funded by the Scottish Government and delivered in partnership with local farmers and landowners, Scottish Borders Council, the University of Dundee, SEPA, Edinburgh Napier University, British Geological Survey and the surrounding community.
We’re delighted that our important work is being recognised and that it continues to influence and inspire other organisations and policy makers.
