Fife Coast and Countryside Trust’s public toilets have once again made a clean sweep at..
FCCT offer a range of events, activities, conservation activities, guided walks and family friendly events to encourage the younger generation to develop a love of the environment.
This section includes an extensive range of downloadable resources, including themed walks
and information leaflets, which are sure to enhance any visit to Fife.
How many Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) can you spot in this video [45 secs] taken by our Conservation Officer, Dominic, at the Eden Estuary? Aren`t they amazingly well camouflaged? Although they are wee, a Little Ringed Plover is a different species and a bit rarer!
The Ringed Plover forages for invertebrates and crustaceans in a particular way: standing and watching, running forward, pecking, and standing still again. It taps its feet on the surface to mimic raindrops, and therefore tempt prey to the surface. It forages by day and night, typically in small groups of up to 50 birds, and occasionally in much larger flocks. [Scottish Wildlife Trust].
The Eden Estuary is a globally important Local Nature Reserve with a small visitor centre with viewing area at Guardbridge near St Andrews. Find out more: https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/walks/local-nature-reserves-others/eden-estuary-nature-reserve/

This week saw the start of another Winter Wellness Session group, this time in collaboration with
Craigtoun Country Park. During this first session, the group had a chance to meet each other and complete their wellbeing stars. Using stars are a way of writing down how your health, wellbeing and quality of life are, and then recording improvements as you go on.
Participants learned how to safely make a fire and how to make a brew using a Kelly Kettle. In the beautiful, calming surroundings of the park, the group then got to grips with the cameras by photographing things that piqued their interest.
Next week it’s time for some knot tying & fire steels!

What a difference our maintenance team have made to the section of the Fife Coastal Path between East Wemyss and Buckhaven. The bit near the cemetery has been resurfaced, as you can see from our before and after pics.
Fife Coastal Path is divided into 8 sections on our website. Each section describes the path and includes points of interest and useful info. Why not start exploring: https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/walks/fife-coastal-path/burntisland-to-buckhaven/

Our public toilets scooped some top Scotland gongs at the Loo of the Year Awards again this year. Our loos are the leading local authority toilets in the country! And our in-house cleaning team was named Scotland`s best.
We really value these awards. They`re a reflection of our small team`s hard work. And only by making improvements and maintaining standards can we keep on winning. These accolades also reflect our valued partnerships with @fifecouncil and your local communities - so thank you!
